I got a pass through on a rabbits ear once. About 15 yards. 50# Damon Howatt Super Diablo, woodie with a 125 grain field point. He shook his head and blasted out of there like a rocket.

Those Eland are beasts!  Cool critters.

Eland are huge!

Getting a pass-through on a water buff is pretty darn cool too.

Whitetail buck in full rut Nov. 5, 2006! Shot him with a Bear Grizzly 55# @ 28" at 16yds! I was shooting cedar arrows that were tipped with 145gr Ace Standards for a total arrow weight of 600gr even! He came in following a hot doe that was about 5 mins ahead of him, she was looking back all the time and was real nervous so i was ready! He went 15yds and expired, took me 4hrs to get him out by myself! He weighed 235lbs field dressed and had a typical 10pt rack with alot of mass but only a spread of 16"! Still my best buck ever though, turned out he had hardly any teeth and was aged at 7yrs!!!

Around here we dont have stuff that gets very big. I have killed 7 deer, 5 turkeys and 4 hogs with the same setup and all were pass throughs except 1 hog. All the deer were 100 to 135 lbs. and the hogs were 75 to 100 lbs, turkeys were average turkey size I guess. The hog that didnt pass through was quaetering away and I shot high and hit the spine. My setup is a Dan Quillian Patriot 58 lbs, 31 inch CX heritage 350, 100 grain brass insert, 150 grain Magnus Stinger or Steelforce Hellfire 150. Total arrow weight is about 680 grains.
