If you hit the deer, it will penetrate.
Idealy, the arrow should pass through the animal. Is that what you mean? The one I shot did not protrude from the other side but the deer only went 20 feet before it died anyway. |

I shoot a #45 recurve with cedar shafts. It gets full penetration and has made pass trough shots. It is not even low-tech, it's no-tech! I have seen demonstrations on arrow versus bullet penetration and in some applications the arrow out penetrates the bullet many times over.

I have a 70# ALPINE compound bow it easily blows thru deer. Once I shot it at a 5" dia. tree and the arrow came to rest with about 6" hanging out the other side. So the answer is yes!

Almost all of mine were blow-throughs. I shot one at 32Yrds two weeks ago and the arrow was stuck in the ground. Deer went 50 yrds and crashed DOA. BTW, it will penetrate a bullet proof vest. |

Best thing about a blow-through from a stand is you get a high entrance hole and a lower exit hole from the lungs and a blood trail that looks like it's poured from a bucket. A nice thing since 90% of my shots are in the last mins of light. I use 100 gr Splitfires, accurate and devestating. |

Unless you hit a front shoulder, most moder compounds will put it threw. The exit wound provides a nice blood trial for tracking.
I use a Mathews Solo at 70 lbs. and 125 Sptifires on Carbon Express 300s. If I'm not shooting down the arrows lost when it goes out the other side and keeps on going. |
