RE: Will he die??????
I nailed a fat doe on opening day , it was a 35 yard shot broadside, it hit at the 3rd to last rib and came out the ass, it was a huge hole and she went down in 20 yards, I changed after that to fixed heads because the arrow changed directions after the hit. I was also using split fires 100 . but the arrow went into the ground 6 inches after the pass thru and all blades opened as they went in . but the arrow should of not turned 90 degrees, but the hole was huge,

Lets see you shot a deer it ran 20 yds and died and your switching broadheads? I see this is turning into a "bash mechanical broadhead thread".That's the problem I have with people who say "I shot a deer with such and such head and it only went in one inch",I'm never using mechanicals agagin blah,blah,blah.What happened here was not the fault of the broadhead.I once had a thunderhead do exactly as you described,the deer wheeled or spun on an angling shot.It has to be a pretty good angle to effect penetration with most mechanicals.

Whoa,take it easy there little fella.My comments were directed to the folks who responded to your post and where(IMO)using this thread to put down on mechanical broadheads when I think it had nothing to do with your problem.THAT was MY point,not that you were switching heads or whatever.MY point was that people will often blame the broadhead(especially mechanicals)every chance they get when often the real issue is shotplacement or a ill tuned bow etc.I was trying to tell jevan that if I had a deer go down within 20 yds I would be happy.Don't take things so personal THAT is how arguments get started on a BBS.In the immortal words of SGT Hulka(Stripes)"lighten up Francis".AND DON'T YELL AT ME YOUNG MAN IT'S NOT POLITE<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Here's my suggestion, either upon drawing twice the arrow worked its way off the string OR he hit a limb he never noticed, deflecting the arrow hard and thus drastically reducing the penetration. HAd nothing to do with what was on the end of the arrow.

Now let's get back to the original question, " will this deer die"? Rest easy young man. You will have a chance to hunt this mighty beast again. NO, he will not die from a shot that only gives you an inch of penitration. Keep at it and better luck next time. Good luck and happy hunting.
