I shot and recovered a 12 pointer yesterday morning that I shot quartering away at 20 yards. The broadhead deflected across the ribs and came to rest under the bucks armpit and then fell out. The deer went over five hundred yards total before I found him. He walked into a creek and went a good hundred and fifty yards down it and then cut up into a field in chest high brush before expiring. I shot a coyote last week with this broadhead and one other buck last year with the grim reaper...and it will be my last. A cut on contact would have zipped right through the animal. When I cleaned the buck I found that the cut across the ribs from the defection was what killed him. One of the blades sliced through 5 ribs and caught a lung. Where the broad head came to rest under the front shoulder was torn up severely but never penetrated through the rib cage. The buck I shot last year was perfectly broadside at about 7 yards. I didn't get a pass though and the deer made it 30 yards before dropping. This is only the 2nd deer I have shot with this broadhead and it will be the last. I use to shoot Rocky Mountain Gators until they changed to the wimpy cut on contact tip that bent and broke off. Rage has the same crappy tip. I guess I will try either Rages chisel tip or a Swacker next year.
