Default RE: Shot placement thoughts... Shoulder blade.

It almost sounds like we were saying the same things, yet in a different way.
Notice, that I said if the bullet hit that (AREA) it would give a paralyzing effect, causingthe deerto drop.
And you said that the massive amount of energy introduced into the shoulder blade (which im assuming you mean by a "bullet") causes a "short circuit". Could this be like a paralyzing effect?
I basically think we were hitting the same points.
I never said that you had to hit the actual nerve to paralyze the animal.

You actually have a chance of hitting (6) major nerves when you penetrate the shoulder.

THE VAGUS NERVE: A rather moderate sized nerve that rides along the spinal collumn and sits behind the shoulder blade.
THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS: Another moderately sized nerve that sits behind the whole length of the shoulder blade.
THE RADIAL NERVE: This nerve is the largest nerve in diameter of the (6) nerves behind the shoulder. This also travels down the center of the shoulder blade .
THE AUXILLARY NERVE: This nerve sits right next to the radial nerve. This nerve is the smallest in diameter of the (6) nerves that sit behind the shoulder.
THE MEDIAN NERVE: This nerve also travels the route of the auxillary and radial nervebehind the shoulder and attaches to the frontal brachias area in front of the elbow.
THE ULNAR NERVE: This nerve also is located behing the shoulder, semi vertical and attaches to the back portion of the elbow area.

My point was, if you actually hit in this area, you will get the job done. And it is all about the central nervous system and the nerves therein. I have hit a deer in the shoulder and (it didn't bring it down) It seems that the bullet should have shocked those nerves though.......
but I bet if I hit the nerves in that area it would have dropped them.

I will say this matt, that every time I reply to any post,it seems that you like to come in and either question or belittle my intelect, regardless of what I have to say. I feel that this is my right to think this way, and I wonder if anyone else were to read your responses to mine, if they would think that you were trying to do this to me also.

I am actually thinking about leaving this forum, because everytime I try to help someone on here and give good advice and good knowledge...there is always someone that tries to come and eat from my plate.

You are right about the spine behind the shoulder
