I HATE powerbelts. Just my personal experience anyway. THey are accurate as hell but I never get a blood trail from them. Shot at 4 deer with them, recovered two within 50-75yds by pure luck. Both shots were right in the vitals but no exit wound and not a drop of blood. As for the other 2, one was a longer shot but I had a steady rest, couldn't see a hit due to smoke but no blood and never found the deer, nice buck too. The other one was 35yard shot on a doe, never found her or blood, I was stunned at the time that I missed but that was the first time I ever shot at a deer with powerbelts. Looking back, I bet I hit her. I love XTP's and have had good luck with Shockwaves as well. I was shooting 150grains with the powerbelts though, didn't realize that was an issue
