I apologize I didn't add my info..

Alberta black bear killed May 14, 2008 with a 55# SKY Rogue longbow with a homemade POC and Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade. The POC zipped pass through the bear and buried itself in the moss. I looked longer for the arrow than the bear and never did find it.
How I love Zwickey's!

Thought I'd post the best "bloody" pic I have...it's a 125 gr. thunderhead (before I believed there was an advantage to cut-on-contact style heads).  Thought it was cool though...lung/liver pass through on a doe from about 12 yards from a treestand.  She ran, and actually broke the ferule of the broadhead right off and carried the arrow for a 15 or so yards and I couldn't find the head for 20 minutes...until I looked at this tree!  Embedded in the tree and a poison ivy vine.  That was a few years back, and the head remains there still!
