But a square it on a leg bone - its entirely possible.
Even the "t" part of the shoulder blade. At 250 fps your probably not getting mechanical blade through alot of shoulder areas unless that slow speed is created by a very heavy arrow.
I still think it should stick though.
My setup has no problem breaking a front leg and still passing through and its really nothing special. I don't screw a 747 on the end of my arrows though.
I just can't imagine my setup ever bouncing off any part of a deer and like I said its really nothing special.
Something either went wrong of something was junk IMO that should just never happen with quality equipt.
