As a side note..My son & I were out bowhunting elk this past couple of days...were were leap frogging --with me doing the calling --he smacked one at 52 yards on Friday morning....using a "New" type of expandable...BIG MISTAKE...we found the bull standing along a cattle fence about 45 minutes later..arrow still there..so I thought we should back off and follow the blood trail later...as he was standing in very open terrain ..we did that and come back 4 hours later...the bull had followed the fence and went down into the timber...we followed the trail..when seeing how he was moving we split up with my son going upwind and myself going down wind in an attempt --if he was still alive to drive him towards my son..he had expired...but the penetration was very poor..my son was shooting a 70# compound..penetration was less than 10"...When I got back to the cabin I switched all my expandables out for fixed..now using G5's -Monteck.....they shoot really well and know they do penetrate...
Think expandables are maybe not so good for the big stuff..Just my opinion..but this one didn't hit any serious bone going in..and yet--very poor penetration...
