Charlie I hit the heart dead center, that's what stopped the arrow. left a perfect imprint of the blades in it and sliced it into three pieces. The deer ran until it keeled over, never bedded down once. I found it flopped over a log like it died in it's tracks. Maybe it was just a freak thing. It's the only deer I have shot.

I sort of new I didn't have enough Ke for mechanicals, but I was listening to those guys that said it didn't matter, they penitrate just as well fixed heads. I even pick one with a small cutting dia to help a little. I had the bow tuned for Thunder head pro's, guess I should have left them on there. Live and learn I guess.

I was also told that deer die faster if the blood can escape the body cavity. They bleed out faster than they would with internal injuries. I don't know, I'm not a vet. All I know is the guy that told me that kills a crap load of deer and I will tend to believe him.

Thanks for the comments guys. I keep thinking I want a faster bow with more energy, then I see some woman take one down with 25 inch draw and 45 lbs of pull. Archery is so much easier when you are only killing targets.
