I have only shot 4 deer now with a bow and the first two i shot were with the muzzy 4 blade. I shot the first two deer in the same spot that i shot the last deer about 2 inches back and the first two deer i shot ran in excess of 100 yards, in fact one of them ran over 200 yards. the deer i shot with the braxe ran about 45 yards. maybe it has something to do with the wound channel that the braxe leave. I can deal with breaking a blade when I hit a bone because 3 out of 4 deer only one of them hit a bone so in those odds i would rather have a broadhead that is going to leave a nasty wound wherever i hit it instead of a conventional wound where im going to have to track the deer for ever.
