steelheads bad on big game
we just got back from an elk hunt in Co. I was using montecs and all of my friends were using the new steelheads. We were lucky and got 2 elk, the elk I shot with the montec passed through the heart and lungs and blasted out the opposite shoulder and traveled about 10 yards past the elk. The elk shot with the steelhead had about 6 inches of penetration, the blades bent and the razor tip was broken off. He was very lucky that the broadhead actually killed the animal. We both shoot the same matthews bow at 70lbs. with the same arrows. His draw length is 2 inches longer and he shoots an over draw,so he is shooting about 20fps faster of an arrow. The steelhead may be great for deer..but I would never suggest it for anything larger.
