Bent ACE broad head

<< < (2/3) > >>

mullet:
 I never shot Ace' but I bent a Wendsel Woodsman going through both hips on a hog.

Mechslasher:
read dr. ashby's broadhead research on tradgang.  i base my choice of broadheads on his results.  never had a grizzly broadhead bend on anything.  dug them out of trees and rocky soil.  the needle tips on other broadheads will turn into fish hooks when they hit bone. 

Titan_Bow:
Unless it was a 200plus bruiser, I cant imagine a rib would stop an arrow that completely. I guess its possible, but I've blown through ribs many times, could'nt imagine one stopping my arrow completely like that.    Sounds more like you may have hit the shoulder blade, likely the thick centerline of it.  Dont know just a guess.
  I almost bought some of the ACE broadheads this year, but still have a handful 160 STOS left.  From what I remember, the ACE seemed to have a pretty robust tip, and overall design.

ballista:
I haven't bagged anything with the ace, but my consostancy was terrible with them, I switched to woodsman, and they're grouping alot better, but they're also needleoint... as far as the penetration, alot of people prefer rounded off tips specificly fer that reason, but itd hard to say.imagine a deer was looking right at you, his butt end behind his head, like a quatering stance, barely showing any vitals. my dad had that shot, and with a 70 pound bow he only got 6 inches of penetration (with a coumpound expandable broadhead!) good luck man, -jimmy

Don:
I don't know if he would have gone 200 plus but we do have some real bruisers here in Iowa.

BTW I saw the same deer tonight just not on the trail I was on. Can't hardly blame him.
He looked a bit sore but seem to jump the fence just fine. I was glad to see him still around but surprised to see him at all.

Mechslasher. Interesting read, wish I had seen that earlier. The ACES may be shelved.
