There's more to an animal than flesh - there's bones too!

You don't say! Yup, you're right - I've just checked my leg and there's certainly a bone in there somewhere!

Arrows do not cut bone, they smash it! Single bevel broadheads - of the type that are used in the above elephant video - are specifically designed to "smash" bone apart with their rotating action. When the bone is smashed apart it then provides very little resistance upon the rest of the arrow and allows for far greater penetration.

Pretty broad statement! What bone are we talking about being 'smashed apart' here - a rabbit's leg or elephant's skull?
I think you've been surfing the net and looking at Youtube too much!
