Penetration is far more important than cutting surface but yet the industry keeps heading in the opposite direction.

Just looks cooler I guess.

It seems like it would be far more productive to design a head that would pass through shoulder blades( you know the bones designed to protect the vitals) not the opposite.

There is really only one problem in the vitals of a deer and that is bone and for some reason the industry keeps making broadheads less and less likely to defeat that problem.
