I don't believe ANYONE'S arrow can completely penetrate the shoulder knuckle. NOT the shoulder blade, but the knuckle, or "joint".
i gotta disagree there. I've done it, once on a bad shot too far forward.
Also shot a deer quartering too much and sent one at a sharp angle behind the shoulder and out through the hard "knuckle" of the hip.
100 grain Muzzy 4 blade and expedition hunter carbon arows..
it can happen.
PS-- both shots were less than 20 yards, on smallish deer, 100- 115 lbs
