Default RE: Disappointed in my ammo

111- I am with you. An arrow kills by hemmoraging(did I spell that right). An arrow slices through the animal, and the goal is massive blood loss. There is no hydrostatic(I spelled that right) shock with an arrow. Therefore a pass through is essential.

A bullet kills by hydrostatic shock. A pass through's advantage is the better blood trail that two holes create. You can shoot a deer with an arrow and one with a bullet in the exact same spot. The bullet may drop him in his tracks. Rarely does an arrow drop a deer in it's tracks. The deer has to bleed with the arrow.
