BOWFANATIC,
I assure you that I am not trying to trick anyone here......arrow flight was perfect and shot placement was perfect. The head simply came apart not other variables other than a flaw in construction or design could have had a part to play. The elk was perfectly broadside with no angle. I'm not trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes. I just thought everyone should hear what happened. If you don't beleive me than don't but please don't insinuate that I'm trying to be deceitful. If that was not how your post read than I am sorry.

Buckfevr,
The break was clean with no bending.

I don't see how penetration could be an issue. I'm sure a broadhead with a tip will out penetrate a BH with essentially a blunt tip. Is there any question that if the tip had remained intact that penetration would have been better? I'm sure that it takes quite a bit of energy to break a ferrule in half.
