The buck i shot on oct 31st, i hit in the shoulder blade. 2.5 yr old buck i think. I got penetration up to the fletchings. He died really fast. Arrow was a fmj with a 3 blade muzzy. I am glad it penetrated but i feel if it was a larger buck or if i had hit the center portion of the scapula i may not have been as lucky. No real point to this post just something i was thinking about.
Here is his shoulder blade:

Re: Shoulder blade hit
That part of the shoulder blade isn't really a problem...like you said...that big joint is.
Most the shoulder blade is really thin and not much of an issue...

Re: Shoulder blade hit
Good well built cut on contact head. With enough FOC that's not a surprise.
