A non pass through will only do alot of damage if it goes in just the right depth, it will also very likely come back out rather than stay inside the deer. The biggest problem w/ a non pass through is that you will almost always get less blood on the ground , especially if the shot hits high on sharp angles. IMO a pass though is always better than an arrow sticking in the deer.
