It was not a complete pass through but penetrated both sides of the rib cage and stopped between the ribs and hide on the opposite side collecting both lungs. The entrance hole was about a 2-2 1/2 inch hole, the blood trail was non existent due to the high entrance and lack of an exit hole but she only went about 100 yds. The real story came upon field dressing the deer. When i recovered the broadhead it had separated from the arrow shaft and at first i thought it had just unscrewed but thats not the case, the entire threaded portion of the ferrule had broken off and all of the blades were gone. I suspect that they are lodged between the ribs and the hide but have yet to confirm that. I'm going to give these heads another try because i believe in the G5 line of heads but so far I am not sold on the durability of the T3.
Gather what pieces you can of the T3 and call G5. Tell them your experience and they will more than likely want the head back and compensate you some way G5 is a stand up company and will stand behind their stuff from my experience!
