Ranch Fairy annoys the crap out of me too when he tries to be funny and cute. Once he settles down, he's pretty good. Takes all kinds.
I've watched a bunch, maybe a couple hundred, hunting videos since the Plague began, and have seen a bunch of examples of poor penetration on well-placed shots at pretty close range. Often you can see the back end of the arrow flip to the side. Something clearly isn't working in those situations.
