Default Broadhead Shattering bone.

Got any stories. I need to stop hijacking PT's post.

When I shot my bear in Quebec, it laid down with his hind legs up under him. I was shooting a Beman ICS 340 Hunter at the time with a 100 gr 3 blade Muzzy.

The arrow entered just behind the bears shoulder angling back and blew threw his rear femur, probably one of the biggest bones in his body. The broad head ended up just under his hide in his rear leg. He went 40 yards.

When we deboned the meat for the trip home I was shocked to see the femur. It had a perfect Muzzy 3 blade hole through the solid part of the bone. The bone was broken but the hole was very definable. I purposely showed it to the outfitter as he had doubts about bows.

Anyone else have bone shattering broadhead stories?
