Last season I went with 2315's and a 125 Magnus Snuffer (BIG HEAD) and had issues with penetration even with 63-64 lbs of KE. 2 deer no pass through but mega blood and easy trails from the entrance alone.

This year I went the other direction with a smaller head, 75 grain Rocket Ultimate Steel and lighter carbons. Total arrow weight last year was 525grains and this year I'm at about 370grains.

I have passed through everything I've shot (by quite a bit) but have meager blood on all 3 deer so far. I have a 1" cutting diameter but the deer yesterday bled only about 1 ounce in 40 yards and had no visible exit wound whatsoever. I only found it by air expelling from it when I rolled her over. Passed through taking both lungs...only went 35-40 yards and toppled...but not enough blood if I would have had to track farther.

Shot a doe later that day (yes I had 2 doe tags and it's perfectly legal in Mi. to shoot a dozen a day if you have the tags so chill) and same thing only...didn't fall in 40 yards and I never found it as the blood was nearly non existent.

My question is this...

Anyone have issues with these new compact heads and blood trails or am I in the minority here??

If there are other issues I'll go mechanical but if it's just me I'll chalk it up to "fluke" so far.
