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
I really question some of you ( Matt/Schultzy) on what your refering to as "shoulder" and "shoulder joint". The shoulder is the blade and joint, if your into that, unless it's back extremely, your way far forward and high. The "elbow" blocks the heart. I'm assuming his shot is errant NOT behind the shoulder. The broadhead is NOT the cause even though I'm not a fan of the 3 blade Rage, the 2 Blade is better. The issue here is shot placement and the words Matt typed earlier on what he thought he saw was in fact not what happened. At the moment of truth, the eyes can lie to you.
Rory made a bad shot. It happens.
