S1,

I think the part that really turns "real" hunters off about your product is advocating gut shots. Even if this did work no one wants to clean a gut shot animal. The tenderloins are shot and it just a messy job even if this kind of thing doesn't bother you.

So talking about gut shooting a deer was a bad move. Even being associated with that sentiment is a bad move.

Folks here have asked you about a shoulder bone and you haven't answered. You should even if it won't which we already know.

Also I would be concerned about a bullet that disintegrates on impact from a what's in the meat perspective. Does the disintegrating bullet leave the chest cavity in most cases?


Swamp,

He hasn't talked about hydrostatic shock. He's talking about imparting all the energy behind the bullet into the animal. I believe these are two different subjects. One is kind of like an energy wave trasmitted by the bullet. He's saying his bullet doesn't leave so the energy must be transferred.


Overall I think a bullet of this design could work. I bet it still needs refinement but I could see it working with a really hard tip to break through bone and holding together enough so as not to get into the meat. Also as part of the marketing campaign leave out the part about the gut shot. I could see a picture of deer walking near a road with it's entrails hanging out making the PETA paper and CNN with your companies logo right there. One last thing the price is disturbing.
