A bad shot is bad shot. You hit the shoulder or leg bone at initial impact, I do not care what gear you are using, you are in a heap of trouble.

The head might break or fracture the heavy bone, but it will be a cold day in hell for anyone to convince me that a head that is claimed to be a " bone-buster," or one that held together with ONE shot into steel , wood, or reinforced rubber, provides " backup," and if you do hit the shoulder or upper leg; no sweat, the head will just blow through the bone and take out the vitals.

As for what heads can do or might do; in 1973, using a 48# American " Cheetah" recurve, I imbedded a 6-blade Wasp in the spine of a buck. On the other hand, I have hit large dense bone when using higher energy compounds with Muzzy and other quality broadheads, and the head either broke or fractured the bone, but never penetrated through and through.

Although confidence is often nothing more than psychological, confidence is good. However, facts are real. If you truly believe that your broadhead has the capacity to penetrate or blow away dense bone, you will incorporate that erroneous belief into the shot you might take…..that you should not take.

All of the " razzle-dazzle" and " zoomy" stuff that has invaded BOWHUNTING, blows my mind. The claims behind much of the gear is nothing more that marketing hype that leads the novice astray.

Although you might not break bone; give me a break!
