Sorry I had to post again because I had to take a break and finish laughing.

BOWHUNTERCOP, Gruntr Huntr-want to buy some ocean front property here in Illinois? [X(]

Bowflex said he shot those 2 deer at 15 and 40 yards but didn't get a pass thru. Does anyone really think that the slug has some built-in computer controlled braking system (CCBS) to aidin "delivering maximum energy" by not passing thru? At whatever range impact takes place? Hilarity!

According to the cute little chart snedd posted, at 15-40 yards those Lightfield's were going atleast 1800 fps and bringing home a likely 1800 lbs of energy. And still didn't pass thru?! That must be where the CCBS pays off. [:-]

So what I'm being told here is no matter what the range the Lightfield's are designed to slow themselves thru some magical process to deliver maximum energy? Aren't the Lightfield's supposed to be some magic longer range slug? Hit the brakes!

I AM NOT A PHYSICS MAJOR! But isn't energy the result of mass (slug weight) X velocity (fps)? It's something like that.

Therefore any reduction in the speed of the projectile while traveling thru the animal will result in a reduction in delivered energy compared to a slug just blasting completely thru and losing as little speed as possible.

If you have ever seen a bullet shot into ballistic geletin where it stops in the block you see a funnel shape created with the smallest part of the funnel being where the bullet stops. The funnel shape is created because the delivered energy is tapering off near the end of the travel. Pretty simple really.

If the projectile blasts completely thru the gel it still creates the funnel shaping somewhat as the projectile slows a bit.

On a given shot placement, a pass thru, and a full blast thru will deliver more energy every time than a non-pass thru.
