Newton’s third law is:
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
“Forces always occur in pairs. If object A exerts a force F on object B,
then object B exerts an equal and opposite force –F on object A”

or in slogan style:
“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”
The Law of Momentum Conservation The Law of Action-Reaction (Revisited)
A collision is an interaction between two objects, which have made contact (usually) with each other. As in any interaction, a collision results in a force being applied to the two colliding objects. Newton’s laws of motion govern such collisions.


A bullet has no more force than the actual recoil of the rifle. Acceleration and mass are inversely proportional. The acceleration of the rifle (Recoil) is a function of its mass related to the energy released buy the gunpowder. The same can be said of the bullets acceleration. It has less mass thus accelerates at a higher rate. Given a 100 percent transfer of energy into the animal in question it can be assumed that the acceleration of the animal (deer) would be even less than the felt recoil of the rifle. Given that its mass is much greater than the rifle that the bullet came from.
