Basic physics and everything I have read about terminal ballistics. In order to have enough energy to nock a target down it would have to impart the same amount of force to you when you shot it, even more when you consider the distance traveled and area of the projectile.
I have shot peices of fire wood with my slug gun using a 600 grn bullet that is supposed to deliver 3,000 ft/lbs of energy and it doesn't even knock it over. How is it going to knock a 150 lb deer on the ground? And why doesn't it knock me down, I only weigh 130 lbs?
I have shot concrete blocks withAluminum plates in front with slug guns and knock them completely over. Two of them. If it will do that, it will easily knock down a deer maybe a little off balance or casually eating. Simple physics sure don't work on your side on this one. I would probalby leave that statement out.
