Mechanical BH question.
Some of you may have seen my thread in the white tail section of the forum. I shot my first ever deer last night with archery equipment. I was using my new Wicked Ridge crossbow and Grimm Reaper mechanical BH's. I assumed the BH didn't open because it was closed when I found it after a pass through shot. According to their website it is common for the blades to close. They say the inertia from the bolt slowing down so much on exit will cause the blades to slam shut. Do you guys see this much at all? It seems like a bolt would have to stop very fast in order to close the head back up, especially given how for they actually open.
I had my daughter with me when I shot and we had to leave so I went back for the deer this morning. Coyotes had started scavaging on it so I was not able to see the entrance wound. I didn't really pay attention to the exit wound because of the damage and I had my mind made up it didn't open.
