Default RE: To shoot thru or not

Good natured sparing with intellegent thoughts .
A scarry sharp broad head or a field point or blunt at 500 grains imparts at best in a high speed compound bow about 300 lbs on a target . 90% of the time that is all left in the target .A few are lost some may go a half mile Bleeding badly and another 100 yrds bleed out . How many geese do we see every year with an arrow through and lodged . It takes 20 lbs to cleanly kill with shot (5 pellets @ 4 ftlbs ) . I think what we all mean to say is as long as the proper parts are wrecked and the critter is leaking some it doesn't matter to us old guys and the kids still want to over kill to be sure . Am I getting the jist of it?
