[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 892476, member: 3755"] Any cut on impact broadhead will penetrate better unless you hit solid bone, like a shoulder blade, and then they tend to curl the tip a little and do not penetrate that well. It is very hard to penetrate the shoulder blade no matter what you shoot. 9" of penetration would be enough if the hit was good but one lung takes quite a while for the deer to die. My brother shot one with the magnus this year that went 400 yards before it died and it was some tough tracking cause it went through a lot of grass. It took a few hours to work the blood trail and the deer was stiff when found. It had been dead awhile but had covered quite a bit of ground first. Things happen fast and it is really hard to tell about a shot sometimes. My brother hit one last year that we thought was a perfect hit but the deer ducked and leaned away from him hard. We saw the buck again later and the entry wound looked perfect but the exit was high on the back like the arrow just slid along the rib and exited the top of the back. I doubt if the broadhead is the problem. You are just going to lose one every now and then and you will be fortunate if you figure out why. Lots of deer are butchered with broadheads in them. Just keep after them. [/QUOTE]
