RE: What Happened?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT
Chris I'm not trying to be a smartass. What I'm saying is....it's gonna get to be a REALLY tiresome mantra if EVERY time someone loses a deer......the COC fixed crowd (which I'm getting ready to be a part of) blames it on the mechanical BH.
I just didn't feel like it was the time or the place for that kind of statement....and on a broadside hit, behind the shoulder......hell it should make NO difference what tye head you have.
Just wasn't the time nor the place for that.

First off, Iinitially saidNOTHING about a mechanical head being the culprit. I simply said that I wasn't aware that he was shooting them.Second, this fellow himself is the one who said that perhaps his head didn't open, not me.Do you recall? It's easy to see how you get your arse in a sling all of time on here.

RE: What Happened?
If I get my ass in a sling, EI....it's for not being afraid to say what others are thinking.
You know....like don't kick a guy when he's down (Not the time for a BH war).....AND....do we really need to blame the BH on every bad hit. Sometimes it IS the culprit. It's not EVERY time. The inference is juvenile (if you really wanna knowhow I feel)

RE: What Happened?
EI....."meager effort"? How so? I'd say the definition of a "meager effort".....is hunting one spot 32 out of 32 times in one season and wondering why you're having a bad year.
THAT'S a "meager effort".
THAT'S a "meager effort".

What happens when only one blade opens?
What happens when only one blade opens?
I'm ony asking because these things interest me. Could the opening of one blade put enough forceon the side of the arrow to cause poor penatration?
Is there a better or more proper time toquestion equipment failure in a thread where "What happened" is the title?

RE: What Happened?
Was there blood on both sides of the trail? 2 holes? Who's to say he didn't shoot completely under the belly/heart and hit the leg on the other side? That would explain why the BH end of the arrow Is still In him why It broke off where It did. It would also look like about 8" to 10" of penetration from the tree when It was running away. It wouldn't surprise me one bit If that's where this deer Is hit.
