The arrow/broadhead was not the issue. Deer probably dropped and you hit high, it happens.
High FOC and the latest and greatest sharpened piece of metal would not have made a difference

Agree on tuning......I blew through both shoulders (hit forward) on a 220+ lb buck in Ks.......Montec isn’t the issue.
Bow hunting a low position target from An elevated position stand takes a lot of math .....
Thank you everyone on here. I’ve been having issues with this site today, some of my replies aren’t posting and some are and saying they’re not so they’re double posted. I apologize but I am reading everything and taking all into account. It definitely sucks and I appreciate you all taking the time out of your day for feedback

I have found several broadheads with 5" of arrow inside body cavities of rifle shot deer. It happens. Anybody giving you static over it is clearly an idiot...
Looks like a lot of arrow sticking out on that zoomed in picture, can see what appears to be all of the manufacturer birthmark on it. Montecs are solid BHs, have killed 4 deer with same bh/arrow in a season using them. Ribs are thicker higher up there where you hit. I'd say you dead centered one and heard a crack at the shot. I did similar on a buck right under me with a 60lb bow a few years back the only time I've ever shot a rage BH. Hit maybe 2" higher up than your shot, dropped the buck and had to follow up with another shot which was a fixed head. Found the rage penetrated less than an inch through the top of a rib and into cavity. Have also spined a couple other deer with other bhs on same steep angle shots. 50lbs and no pass throughs are a bit of a handicap. If you can manage it a few more lbs will help. Good luck and keep at it.

The deer will catch the broadhead up in some briars and pull the arrow out. He will heal up and be ok.
Aim lower at him next year,.....which is what he needed.....another year.

I’m a girl and I have worked my way up to that. I turned up to 53 last year and target shooting I am fine but in the stand I struggled so turned back down. I am working all the time to get up higher though! Not as easy for us females to pull 70

Thank you. My dad the same about a rib. I have spined one too on high angle close range shot. arrow went in, cracked in 3 pieces and muzzy broadhead was in the spine. Buck dropped, kicked and died right there. Peach Orchard cut it out and let me keep it

Update: I have gotten some big girl arrows. Also, I’m an idiot and realized I said 100gr arrows above. I was shooting mayhem 250s with 100gr Montecs. Anyway....
