hitting bone with any broad head is never a GOOD thing, IMO
heart ,. lungs, are where you want things and there rather soft tissue make up, so any GOOD SHARP broadhead will work, get off target some and anything can go bad!
You're right again mrbb and I was going to mention that too about the draw weight. Rage, for example, uses a different collar for crossbows so they don't open up at the shot due the high inertia at launch.
IMO too if anyone who archery hunts says they haven't lost a deer probably hasn't been doing it for too long. In my 55+ years of archery hunting I lost 2. Both of these were totally my fault and were unnecessary losses. Both were on decent 8 point buck that I thought were good shots and my error was starting to trail them too soon, jumping them and loosing the blood trail. One I found a week later (I had walked 15 yards past it the day I shot it) and another word got back to me that someone else had found it.
PLEASE.....please after your shot, even if it looks perfect, give the animal a minimum of 45 mins to an hour before starting to track it. If its a less than ideal shot, go home or wait about 4 hours or even over night before you start looking.
