Put a 1 inch cutting diameter razorblade through the chest and its a 1" hole, doesnt matter what the broadhed looks like on the outside, or wheter it was shot from a home made stick and string or a 1000 dollar mathews.

If your weapon shoots where you aim and your aim is true, then projectile weight, velocity of projectile, and deformation or non deformation of the projectile cause the wound or hole.

It is fun to hear though how different choice of bullet, design, and construction deal good results for all/some of us, or not.

I had some bullets that were titled as "Winchester" bullets i bought from Midway years ago and loaded up a few recipes for my .243. The most accurate load took my biggest deer to date. The bullet pretty much "blew up" causing me to over think that it didn't perform well. Truth is, though I never found any pieces of the bullet bigger than a shred, the bullet flew where I aimed, and took out the entire superhighway of air ways and blood avenues just above the heart and lungs. The deer dropped within 16 feet of the strike. I'd say that bullet performed just peachy!
