The coyotes here often hear a gunshot as a dinner bell. Several times deer have gone down within sight of my stand and coyotes have beat me to the deer. After field dressing deer i often set up on the gut pile and shoot coyotes.

The only time I do not get a total pass thru is if I accidentally hit the spine. I've gone through shoulder bones, ribs and generally I find my arrow buried 6 inches in the dirt or worse, stuck in a root or something and I lose the broadhead and/or arrow. I've been shooting NAP Thunderheads forever...20 or more years I bet. And even though I've converted to carbon arrows and dropped my broadhead weight from 125 to 100 I still pass thru. So when I watch the tv shows n arrows are sticking half out of deer I'm not inclined to change what I'm doing. I like 2 holes, one high, one low. I'm also wondering if it's the cameras and the perspective they bring or if some of these guys are shooting at what I think are crazy distances. I don't know, but when I see arrows sticking out of deer I figure I'll stick to my realistic distances, and my old school heads.
