I'm going to be the guy that says, "you didn't get much penetration with that big broadhead." Sure it left a gaping wound and you recovered her but I think I'd opt for something that might penetrate better. Just my opinion.
Congrats on the kill.

I'm gonna be the guy that says.....'it blew right through'.
Seems like there has been some sort of 'evolution' lately for deer type animals that they have become armor plated in the last few years. They are noting but a grocery bag full of shaving cream and a few tinker toys and one ball joint....and there is no guarantee you will get through the ball joint with any head.
I had TWO gaping wounds on this bear with the same exact head.....AND a great blood trail.

I agree Terry, deer are lightly constructed..
In the video it appeared that the arrow was stopped quickly by the doe.. Buff indicated that was not the case.. Bricks are hard to penetrate regardless of bow weight or broadhead..

Guess you missed seeing all the hair flying out the other side.

No worries Pat....it sure don't surprise me that a head that wide would have blown through. Seen too many deer blown through with my Z Detla 4 blades like they were made of paper. As long as I never hit the off ball socket or solid leg bone on the way out, they don't even seem to slow down.
That head might be wide, but those Silver Flames are sho-nuff sharp.

From the mid 70's until the mid 80's I hunted with an 83# Damon Howatt recurve, 2219's and Zwickey Deltas.. I don't recall a deer ever stopping one of those arrows. Powerful medicine indeed..
