Blood everywhere at least a foot wide in most places.
I'll be anxious to see a report on these Dead Ringers - good or bad.
Just to clarify shooting from a stand doesn't make a pass through less likely. It makes not getting a pass through more of a problem when it does happen as the only wound will be higher on the deer.
Its the broadhead that looks like a 747 that makes a pass through less likely in the event that you hit a shoulder.
