I know they do go through deer ribs well, but mostly bad results on elk unless somehow they slip exactly through the ribs. And you're done if they even touch the scapula...
-Always having to close the blades. I stalk or ambush hunt mostly, and they often catch on branches or whatever while on the string and open up. Nothing more frustrating than drawing and noticing one or more pieces is flapping sideways...
-If one opens up even a tad and you launch it without noticing then they fly very oddly...
Elk done for the season with a nice cow. Mmm, tastes great! Solid shots to everyone.

If I were to guess I would say you have been using the actual heads as practice? if so dont. weakened springs can cause premature opening. Only time I have ever seen this happen.
