[QUOTE="iowaelkbum, post: 1435783, member: 98957"] From the looks of the arrow angle in that picture, my guess is that they both hit the off side shoulder. That would explain the lack of penetration. If the elk was flailing around during the shots it is very easy to shear of an arrow that is stuck in the opposite shoulder. My solution for penetration is to shoot an arrow that has a heavier dynamic spine (stiffer) and add a 100g brass insert. Think of the arrow as a broad head delivery system. More weight up front is better for hunting purposes. Weight in the arrow shaft becomes a liability as soon as penetration begins (for deflection purposes). My groups at 50+ yards are tighter due to the FOC increase. We tried 2 blade heads for increased penetration, but went back to 3 and 4 blades. Our trial with 2 blade heads left us with lost elk and really long blood-trails. We will never go back to 2 blades! [/QUOTE]
