I haven't had a deer go 100 yards when properly shot in ... well never. I don't think I'd be ranting about the virtues of the broadhead. You're treading on a slippery slope it seems. And this was a little deer. What if the thing weighed 200 pounds and was healthy.[8D] Not trying to start a fight, but I wouldn't accept those results. I'd change broadheads or tune my bow.
You may be right. When I first used the head last year that was my thought as well. I am confident that my bow is tuned properly (if you believe in the results of paper tuning) but I don't produce a lot of KE, about 62#. I decided that was not enough but then I began to find out from others that shoot over 70# that they also have fewer complete pass thrus than most of the "Rage advocates" will usually admit.
But I have come to the conclusion that a partial is as good as a complete other than arrow inspection. I have shot enough that I usually (almost always-maybe because my arrow speed is slow) know what kind of hit I made on the deer and the goal after the shot is to find a dead deer not necessarily an arrow sticking in the ground.
I have shot a mature buck with this broadhead last year with same results- partial but not complete but easy recovery.

Not arguing that 100 yards seems excessive with a good double lung hit, but as long as I got a partial pass thru, how could that have anything to do with the recovery yardage as compared to a complete?
