RE: Can a bow penetrate better than a rifle

I believe the bullet is a more efficient dumper of its energy into the target. That is why a deer will sometimes not know it has been shot on a pass-through. The arrow's shock to the animal is often not very high if no bone is encountered. A bullet uses shock to kill(as well as destruction of tissue), whereas an arrow uses the cutting and bleeding to kill. Just my thoughts.
The most important bloodtrail leads right to the foot of the cross

this statement is the way it was explained to me as well. An arrow kills by hemoraging, a bullet kills by causing shock. That is why you need such powerful firearm to kill an equal sized animal.
