I shot a doe a week or so ago with the Helix. et1702 and shooterbull aren't kidding about the true arrow flight and devastation. Clean pass through via shoulder bone and I have personally never seen such a swath of blood to follow for recovery. Now I will admit I never did find my arrow in some knarly stuff but I would not be shocked to find at least the bh reusable with some sharpening possibly needed. These were recommended to me by a very accomplished bow hunter and I know why. I don't see any reason to use anything else.

KimWar, unless it hit a rock after pass through, it's still sharp! Check my earlier posts. I had a similar experience earlier this season. I plan on getting an elk with same BH this week.

slick tricks are good but no way are they nearly as tough as shuttle t's . good post thank's

I would like to see your data backing this statement  :tung:

I have smashed through many opposite shoulders and not had a single problem. All blades intact and ferrule still straight. Shuttle Ts are a great head but aren't as sharp as I like.

 :yeah: I've seen more shuttle Ts broken then slick tricks....

Same here.

The last 3 elk I have shot has been with Shuttle T's and none of them went over 50 yards. 1 was at 50 yards and broke threw a rib on both sides. My bow only shoots about 265 fps. They are an awesome broadhead.

I love the shuttle t heads. I've had pass throughs on 2 deer and I shoot a 45# pse evo 7. They say they are not very sharp but they are deadly. Both were quick kills. How do you measure sharpness anyway?
