They were ruined as far as their movement, but they would have killed the deer on the other side of a shoulder for sure. They are one tough head. They haven't failed me yet and provided they are assembled correctly there's no way for them to fail. I do have to admit, though... I've yet to hit a shoulder to put it to the real test and I don't intend to do so intentionally.
I don't know chief. I would almost take you up on that bet. There is something about a live animal that is so hard to reproduce with even real bones and hide. On one hand, I have seen the tests with cowbone shoulders and hide placed over, but on the other, I have seen BH's in action on real animals and shocked that some shots didn't work out as planned.
