I would like to see some pics as well, search button isn't always helpful as it will keep searching until 200 results have been found, sometimes there aren't that many.

this is a buck i shot on 9/17/2013.  i was using a 48# @ 27" bear super kodiak.  arrows are gold tip 5575 with a 250 gr grizzly up front (560 gr total).  shot him at 17 yards.  grizzly broke shoulder bone giving me just enough penetration to turn a shoulder shot into a kill.
 
this is the entrance
 
this is the back of same shoulder blade

Thats impressive. I killed a doe with one a week or so ago and was very happy with the blood trail. Arrow passed through the lungs and the off leg.
50@27 Hill style string follow and 525 grain arrow.Notice the entrance is more than just a slit.
  shooting the low poundage that I shoot now these Grizzlys are really appealing to me. I don`t have to worry about being able to kill a big boar and I feel good about close shots from a tree stand.

It was sort of a very slightly quartering too shot and the off leg was back. Notice the hole through it too. Shoulda got better pics I guess.RC

In this picture, I am still in the tree stand, you can see the blood on the ground at the impact spot and the hog, dead on the ground. This happened on another hog last year also.

I don't have any wound pics, but I shot this doe from a ground blind at about 12-15 yds, quartered away a little past 45 deg.  The hit was a little back and high, so I waited almost an hour.  I found only one spot of blood, but it turned out she barely made it 60 yds.  The left bevel Kodiak found liver and one lung and stopped in the shoulder.  The head was very sharp and the slice in her liver was huge, at least 2".  I generally like a wide head, but I'll shoot these things anytime.  She is probably my biggest doe, yet.

This is the exit hole.The antelope buck was hit on the opposite side and the 190 gr Grizzly smashed through the humerus and the tip was poking out on the exit side.The buck ran full out and crashed at 40 yds.I estimate he was on his feet about 2 seconds,after the hit.The running with the KME sharpened head at the surface caused the large hole.

Both sides were blood shot like that.

I haven't spent enough time examining wound channels but plan to in the future.I shot a doe antelope through the liver with a 200 gr Grizzly and the entire wound channel was 2" wide,all the way through.The broadhead is only 1 3/16" wide.That antelope only went 35 yds.
