There will always be people who won't accept that a rig can be setup for penetration but there isn't a bone in a deers body that can't be easily broken with an arrow. The only question is are you aware of the compromise of shooting a rig like that and are you willing to live with them?

I've broken both shoulder knuckles with Rocket Steel heads and 380gr arrows at 275fps. New rigs with 400+ grains going 300fps plus will penetrate with good heads that don't cut too wide. Resistance is the great downfall of arrow penetration.
