I've shot at least 6 or 8 deer with the two blades, I have had one not pass through because I hit the far shoulder. All deer were down within 80 yards. I love everything about them besides the price but you get what you pay for I guess. Although a few of the rages that weren't bent or too banged up shot more then one deer. It doesn't always happen but if you get lucky you can reuse them.
