one more thing this same 180 grain 30-06 bullet will stop dead when shot into a bullet proof vest but an arrow will go through?
Another example of why the media you shoot into is so important. Penetration tests for arrows are only revelant when they are tests into animals.
This is true! but that 30-06 has a whole lot more KE which does not mean beans to the way arrow works,Bowhunters need penetration as a bow kills with hemoirage,an arrow will not penetrate as deep in a dead animal as it will a live one(due to fluids).
