Sabotloader,
I did like the "squeeze vice test" you did. You must have more $$ than I do, cuz I can't afford to squeeze them in a vice I just wanna shoot them....LOL
"Yes I do" shootan Encore and many others, but mostly T/C's and Knight's.
I shoot traditional archery (recurve instinctive)and I'm use to selecting my shots carefully. I take pride in my marksmanship withboth bow & gun. Maybe that's why I haven't had any bad experiences with the PB's??
All of thedeer I've taken using the PB'shave gone down in less than 50yds. All of the shots taken were less than 60yds.that I can remember.
I like to take lung shots and the blood trails I getusing the PB's have not been that impressive.
If I'm lucky enough to harvest a deer next weekend, I'm going to butcher the deer myself. I want to see if I can find what's left of the PB. I use to do all my own butchering years ago, but I've gotten lazy and prefer to take it to the lockers now. If I can retrieve the PB, I'll post the picture. I've seen other posts of retrieved PB's and they do scare me!
