[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 3009603, member: 879"] My experience with Crossbow Broadheads seems to the opposite of some here. But I know fixed broadheads can do the job and I certainly know expandable broadheads do the job. And they make a bigger entry wound and lots more blood. We talk a lot about "shot placement" on LRH. But however important shot placement is for rifle hunting, it is so much more important when bow hunting. And yes, to my shame I learned this the hard way. I just refuse to let a Crossbow Bolt loose anymore unless it is really a perfect shot and I'm sure that I am dead on when the arrow flies. Shot a doe in my back woods Wednesday Evening before dark. It was a perfect quartering away shot and landed just where I wanted it. She ran to the top of the hill and disappeared. I could see the arrow sticking out of her right after the shot at 32 Yards. I was certain she was dead, but also refused to go look for her until the morning light came the next morning. (That is a hard lesson to learn, to make yourself wait till morning when you shoot one at dusk, but it is always the best thing to do, unless it is hot and you have predators.) Found her at the top of the hill Thursday morning. She was pretty frozen! This was my first experience with Swhacker 100 grain expandable 1.75" broadhead. Good penetration and blood spray on both sides of the trail, so really pleased. Shoots accurately in my Excalibur Exomax. If you get a wide wound and two holes, what's not to like? But any deer you hit that isn't a double lung/heart shot can get away no matter what broadhead you use. That's just the truth about bowhunting. So if you aren't sure you can make that perfect pocket shot into the boiler room, it is better to let them walk. Your manhood is not at stake if you let a deer walk away. [/QUOTE]
