Wow…I am impressed as I have not had similar experiences. In fact I have had quite the opposite on two occasions which make me sick to this day. What are you shooting for a set-up…bow weight, arrow weight, shaft material, EFoC etc. I am also confused as to this “whitetails are one of the easiest to penetrate” statement that a lot of people seem to be using. If hit in the soft correct place and comparing it to say a moose then I would agree that they are easier than said moose, but on a heavy bone hit with some of my prior set-ups those deer might as well be armor plated.

Again, I am not picking a fight just sayin…
