Managed to prioritize Archery deer hunting again this fall. Opted to try a heavier 200gr. 2 blade single bevel broad head in an overall heavier arrow set up with a highgher FOC setup (21.4%).
Took a fairly large bodied Whitetail buck this Wednesday with this set up at 15 yards from a elevated tree saddle. Shot ended up higher than Id have initially preferred & a bit further back. To be more specific the BH entered between the 3rd & 4th rib from the back & grazed the lower part of the spine, exit was mid body on opposite side. Looks like the Aortic artery that runs just below the spine was severed.
Deer made it 33 yards & in under 30 seconds after the shot he Wobbled & tipped over.
Seems no good reason I have had my reservations on 2 blade heads.
Historically, I had been a expandable fan & when done right I still am a believer. one way or another a sharp head through & through will be the goal.
