Tom, I have killed about 60 of them with the crossbows now. I am shooting a couple of Excalibur Matrix bows.
I have tried a bunch of different head, both fixed and mechs. I like the NAP Thunderheads for penetration, and the NAP Spitfire Maxs for making decent holes. I haven't found anything yet that makes a hole that can't be plugged. I have good luck (and I think it is at least partly luck) with the Spitfire Maxs putting Bambi on the ground quickly, and it they are within 100 yards I can find them even if they plug up tight and there is zero blood on the ground. I have had a few tough blood trails with different heads incliding some 4 blade 2 inch.
Never had a mech head that did not shoot same as a field point out of the Excaliburs. 350 grain (head and arrow total weight) always shoot through unless I hit offside bone. Both Excals are superbly accurate, < 1 inch at 50 yards.
