Default RE: The Kill - Revisited .......

Honestly Jeff I doubt like I said, that Snypers would have blown through that bone like that Muzzy did but I still use Snypers. Like I said too, that bear would have been just as dead and there is no reason why a broadhead needs to go through a rear femur. In my case, it's the way the bear was laying. Deer don't lay the same way as their joints don't bend the same as bears which is the same as ours.

If someone is hitting solid bone in a deer, it's poor shot placement. Judging broadheads like Rage or Snypers or others for that matter for perhaps not having that capability is hogwash. Hitting solid bone via the front leg, a person is too high, too low or too far forward or shooting at a poor shot angle and it's likely no broadhead would make that kill.



I also believe that no broadhead will make it through the spine but all of them will drop the deer by busting the spine.

All I said is I've seen a broadhead blow through a solid bone. BUT that particular outcome was irrelevant, the bear was dead regardless had the broadhead stopped at the bone or gone through it like was the case.

But there I go hijacking PT's thread. [8D]
