Default RE: Shockwave Mechanical by NAP?

ORIGINAL: lou-lou

Have had many people use them that I know, Mixed results is what I found, But what did it for me was a $3000.00 trip to Illinois that my father and I went on. First day in the stand a 140 inch buck walked right by me to my father and he shot it at about 10 yards broadside. We were only 40 yards apart so I saw everything. He was using 100gr shockwaves. He shoots it right behind the shoulder, good shot right! The deer jumps runs 20 yards and is about 15 yards or so away for me. I see the arrow buried right behind the shoulder so I don't shoot it figuring it going to expire quickley! So the deer runs off we get down and find no blood little bit of hair. So know I'm tracking it on tracks only. We find bits of blood for about 100yrds or so and decide to back off till later. We never found the deer, only thing i could think of was that the broadhead hit some type of bone and deflected down towards it's belly, that would explain white hair at the hit sight. 10 yard shot behind the shoulder at 270ft per sec. with a 450gr arrow at 70lbs come on. Something went wrong and it wasen't the shot. We even had lung blood on the track. Sounds weird dosen't it. My advice don't take the chance on them I wouldn't. There are plenty of better broadheads out there at the same price.
So you are saying that the deer was shot through both lungs, regardless of broadhead, and it didnt die?
