I have had Excellant results with the XTP's, never lost one Deer while using them and they are accurate as hell out of My ACCURA.
Now 100yds is'nt bad, I have seen Deer go that Far on a Double Lung shot and others go 15yds on the same shot. Every Deer is different, it all depends on the Deer and what he and you were doing at the time of the shot. I think a Spooked Deer at the time of the shot will go further, and also some Deer just plain go further, some Die and some Fly. It's like when you shoot a Big Tom Turkey and he just falls over dead and the next one you get Flaps and Flaps his wings even though he's done.
All that matters is You Got Him, dont give up on the XTP's, they never let me down and Im sure they'll continue to keep your Freezer Full.
Congrat's!

I won't give up on the XTP...they shoot too well out of the accura. Had a great bloodtrail for 30 yds and then it stopped. Just had to look around for a little while
