John Bear - Heres a pictue of a 250 pound whitetail I killed this past Nov. I shot him with a 52 pound longbow, 425 gr total weight arrows and a 125 Thunderhead broadhead. I was probably 165 feet per second and maybe 28 pounds of KE or something like that. I did NOT expect this kind of hole in the deer ! He ran 60 steps of so and died in about 6-8 seconds - almost unreal !

I'm posting this to show how much damage a broadhead does. The hole was huge - maybe because the arrow was spinning or the angle ? Also, see how the area around it looks bloodshot like bullet damage ? Massive hemmoraging. Most guys would say my setup was minimal because of poundage, or arrow weight, or type of broadhead. If that is true, man, think of what this hole would have been like with better equipment !!
