I shot my 80th deer with a bow last year. As stated above by some, you didn't get a good hit or you would have had a complete pass through with any broadhead. A lot of new archers (heck, a lot of experienced archers) don't really know where to shoot at a deer for a good shot. Any bone, high in the back, or shoulder blade shots will stop your arrow pretty quickly. Eleven inches of penetration says you didn't get a good hit. Pick a head that shoots like a field point and go with it. I've been shooting BuzzCut Stingers myself for several years. Not saying they're better, just that they fly like a field point off my bow and they're SHARP.
