Shot a doe in September and she ran into some sudex that was between 5-7 ft tall. I'm 6'6" and found blood above eye level. Cut the top part of her heart off and blood was shooting all over the place! The sudex was thick, but I only had to travel about 15 yards into it to find her.
My buck was shot at 30 yds, ran a quick 20 yds or so and just collapsed. Blood was puddled around him. He was a double lung shot, shredded them! When you see the entry wound you will be amazed!

Nawwwwwwww REALLLYYYYYYY What complicates it is more or less false advertisement. High speed compound bows started showing people that they HAD to have perfect tuning to shoot a fixed BH accurately and consistently. Old slow bows didn't show up the improper tuning AS BADLY as a 300+fps bow will. There are still a lot of BH's out there that flat out suck wind (good pun there don't ya think ) no matter how well your bow is tuned. I just experienced too many poor penetrating hits from mechanical BH's to ever trust them.
Criteria for a good broadhead is actually quite simple really.
1: Flies well in a properly tuned bow.
2: SHARP
3: Tough enough to penetrate light bone and not come apart on you.
4: Leave a good wound channel for faster bleedout.
Pretty simple really. Advertising and marketing makes it difficult.

My personal choice is Grim Reaper 100grn RazorCut. 1-3/8ths cut. Have taken hogs, deer, bear, elk, 'yotes and a record Catalina Ram. Only the elk traveled over 100yds and that's because he was going down hill on his way out!!!!!!! All the rest dropped within sight under 75 yds. Not 1 failure to open, impossible to happen. Open while going thru a piece of paper.
