I managed to take this old battle scarred Impala ram today at 22 yards, he was quatering away when the Excalibur Firebolt tipped with a 4-Blade 130gr Muzzy broadhead passed through him, breaking the far shoulder. He only went 68 yards, but what is even more amazing is that I actually found a part of the lung on the blood trail, it seems that it was severed by the shaving sharp Muzzy's and fell out of the gaping entrance wound about two thirds of the way along the trail the ram took. This is the first time I have seen this while bowhunting, I have seen it a few times when hunting with a high powered rifle but never with a broadhead tipped arrow. Incredible.

That's a big chunk and the piece looks intact, basically just cut off...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Thanks .
