I for one am glad that some people choose to shoot the Walmart expandable broadheads, b/c their piss poor performance allowed me to kill the deer below.


After capping out the deer I was cutting chunks of neck meat off and my knife hit something that made a metallic sound. Upon closer inspection I found a walmart expandable 3-blade broadhead (minus one blade) and small piece of bone fully encapsulated in a piece of grisle(sp?) near the center of the deers neck. The deer was obviously shot in the dead center of the neck, half way between the head and chest, a season or two before with the cheapo walmart expandable which didn't penetrate into the vertebra at all and simply lodged up against it. There was no sign of an entrance wound and the deer was 100% healthy. I never found the missing blade third blade from the broadhead. If the deer had been shot with a good fixed head I doubt I'd be writing this. So to all my hunting neighbors shooting walmart expandables.....keep up the good work!


You're only as good as your worst shot-
