I am with you....occasionally I watch some video and TV archery hunts to see time and time again hunters shooting deer and the arrow not penetrating; whereas, the deer runs off while the hunter is jumping up and down like this is the first buck he/she ever shot and are totally happy with the result. Many times they are retrieving the deer way after dark or the next day, but telling the story of the deer only running 50 Yds +-.
I have taken 19 bucks all 8 points or better. The first eight were taken razor backs (The ones from the 80's 1468 gr.) and the remainder with 125 Thunderheads. I went to the 125 for less grs. All arrows penetrated full length through the buck and stuck in the ground except one which "Jumped the string” caused by my "Noisy" bow and I hit him in the spine and he fell in his tracks.
I won't settle for anything less than a broad head arrow combination that will consistently penetrate through the chest cavity leaving internal damage and two openings for blood trails.

I also shoot Thunderheads (100 grain model) and have had nothing but great penetration and complete pass throughs except on one buck when I hit the opposite shoulder. This was probably my mistake of not aiming a bit further back on a quartering away shot.
