Since I had a fresh one ... why not.

145 Snuffer.  Sharp.  Arrow 570gr.  #55 Bob Lee recurve.  



That's about how far it was stuck into the block target after going through.

Maddog Mountaineer 57# and Prairie Predator 52# Wow!, Samick Sage 35 - 60#,  I'm learning.

Wow. Would probablt have been a pass through on a deer. SHARP Snuffers are bad medicine.

What kind of arrow are you shooting and how did you get it that heavy.

Whatever you do, DO NOT show your wife the picture of the critter parts on her patio furniture.  She may use the snuffer on your shoulder blade!   :biglaugh:

Only 2 blade heads can do that! NOT

Mr.Magoo

For the question above ... I re-weighed to make sure. 45/60 CE Terminator cut 29" comes in at 316gr. + 269 for the head (125 adapter and 145 head (a grain missing somewhere)) actually comes in at 585gr.

Must've read the scale wrong last night.

Snuffers are a Big, Heavy Duty, Big Hole Making, Killing Machine!!!!!

They're an EXCELANT Broadhead!!!!!!!!!!

However, The problem with penetrating the shoulder blade, is that it is TOTALY encased in & surrounded by muscle, which acts as a shock absorber and retards penetration by absorbing the forward momentum of the head & arrow. Most good broadheads, will penetrate a shoulder blade if placed firmly against a target & shot at. I'm very interested in how you "placed" the shoulder blade against the target/backstop?????

Very COOL Thread!!!!!!!!!!  :thumbsup:

For the other questions above.  I just stood it in front of a block target, and yes the tips are dubbed.

AGAIN, The Snuffer is an AWESOME Broadhead!!!!!

Simply pointing out an observation... and not meaning to start anything!!! "food for thought" so to speak.....

Years ago, I had a compound buddy, shooting a 60-70# or so bow, with "whatever" carbon arrows, and this mechanical whatever unremembered name broadhead, that was supossed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. He showed me a shoulder blade he had shot & "blew right through!!!!!" I asked if he had another one??? He said yes, and went to the bonepile and handed it to me. We found an old foam couch pillow, and tied the shoulder blade in front of the pillow with a piece of string. We propped it up against the backstop, and I told him to go get his bow & shoot that one.....

The mechanical broadhead FAILED miserably!!!!!

So he say's OK Fred Bear! Let's see what that antique $hi+ of yours can do!!!!! So I get my 47" Grizzly, 50-55# DougFir arrow, tipped with a 125gr Zwickey Eskimo.....

The Zwickey BARELY made it to the back of the ferrule!!!!!

However... With alittle "workin' & wiggelin" I was able to get my broadhead out,touch it up, and put it back in my quiver!!!!!  :bigsmyl:

Just one old Woodchucker's experiance.....

Actually, yes!

The arrow did not bother him one iota.  He was so hot on a cow... I was able to redeem myself less than an hour later.  Just lucky!!
