Okay, I looked it up.
Horrible name for a company, but I think you're kinda right, @D-Rock425

Judging from the picture of the arrow sticking out, it's amazing that you hit the off leg. Great bull. Thanks for sharing.

:chuckle: It's all about the penetration.

I enjoy these discussions and agree the debate of cut trauma or wound channel vs penetration debate will never end.
It all boils down to the question...... Where do you intend to miss? Do you plan to Miss thru soft flesh and organs with an arrow path that leaves pentration wasted in the dirt on the back side of the critter? Or is your intention to miss into heaven muscle and bone and an arrow path that puts vital organs behind these blocking structures.
Your shot selection and arrow path will determine whether you are complimenting or handicapping your choices. Also your equipment should give you every opportunity to not miss.
If I was to offer observations and some things to consider.... none of the shots were ideal. 2 from misses your buddies and the illuminated nocks bull, and 1 from poor shot selection this years bull. The setup your shooting is meant to inspire confidence when aiming close to big bones allowing angled shots at the vital V
It is possible that 2 shots have different outcomes with bigger holes, wider cuts, possibly more blood and specific to the case of the illuminated nock possibly not a gut shot at all as a different broadhead may well have been less affected by the spine reaction adding the illumenok.
Great conversation. Congrats on the bull! And glad you found some confidence in your equipment choice and performance!

I DID just watch one of the new Stuck n the Rut videos where they shot a mechanical at a bull last year, hit him RIGHT in the bread basket and got maybe 10" of penetration.
I feel pretty confident saying that if you're running mechanicals, especially on elk, I believe you should reconsider. Can it work? Sure. Do I trust it? Not at all. You can kill an elk with a .223, but it doesn't mean its the best choice. IMO mechanicals are the .223 of elk hunting.
