This deer. She spun at the shot and the broadhead traveled along the rib cage,under the shoulder and into her neck where it cut an artery. Blood everywhere for 75 yards and she was down.
   
Sort of hard to argue with that! I am going to try the Tiger Sharks. They are the same weight as my Zwickey Deltas. I don't really want to change my arrow setup either if I don't have to.
Kanati 58" 44# @ 28" Green glass on a green riser
Bear Kodiak Magnum 52" 45# @ 28"
Bodnik Slick Stick longbow 58" 40# @ 28"

I shot a doe Thanksgiving morning she was quartering away about 45 degrees. She took a step when I released the arrow and it hit her in the ham angling forward. She ran 50 yards out of sight. I waited 2 hours got down and went to the last spot I saw her and found a blood trail about 2 foot wide. She was laying 50 yards away in a cut hay field. The broadhead came out of her abdomen and almost field dressed her.
I have shot a lot of deer with different broadheads but none I have tried will do this. The shot was less than optimal but the results were good. If you hunt long enough you will make a less than optimal shot (stuff happens) we owe it to the animals to do all we can.

I was using the screw in Tiger Sharks, I have used all of the Simmon's heads they all are great.LCH
