[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1762865, member: 13632"] I used to post a lot of cutting and bullet performance pictures but haven't in the last couple year so I though I should. These are the shoulders out of a 3.5 year old bull (left) and a 3.5 year old cow (right), I threw a bill down for reference. This is what's under fur, hide and a couple inches of muscle and a lot of tendon and connective tissue. You then have another 1-2 inches of light weight meat and a densely packed set of ribs before getting to the soft center of an elk. [ATTACH=full]159616[/ATTACH] The knuckle joint is stout, I've hit cows dead center of it at normal ranges and had just bone crumbles that complete absorbed massive hits and bullets don't make it past the shoulder. [ATTACH=full]159619[/ATTACH] I've seen more than one bull completely stop a broadhead with the shoulder blade, I've cut a lot of elk and pulled broad heads out of the blade, its not as brittle as it looks and can flex and move.
