I've got the Parker Buck Buster 150 and this is my first year to hunt with a crossbow. I've taken three deer to date, one that could be a twin to yours. All three of mine were complete pass throughs with the arrow completely through before they reacted. Two were taken using 125 grainTrophy Ridge Rocket Steelhead mechanicals.These doeswent less than 60 yards. Both werehigh double-lung hits and there was no blood trail. The spike was taken with a125 Phathead four-blade, again a high double-lung hit but with someblood trailin the 40 yards he traveled. I'm not too impressed with the blood trail I'm getting, so my next broadhead will be theSlickTrick 125 grain which I've heardvery good things about on this website, especially the blood trail they leave.

Your odd angle may well have been the result of a big bone that turned thearrow in that strange direction. I'm sure there is a lot of physicsbeing applied to thebroadhead and shaft as it makes its way through the cavity of a deer, hitting both soft and very hard tissue. That may be a shot and results that you'll never see again. The important thing is that you got the deer by hanging in there and not giving up. Tom
