fletch, WV Hunter, I tend to agree with both of what you said. On the 9 deer I've killed with the Snypers, one hit spine and did exactly what it was suppose to do, this last one took out the biggest of the ribs but all heads can do that. I've never hit solid, solid bone as in the front leg/shoulder and I'd really prefer to be behind that as that puts me too far forward, obviously margin of error but I'd rather be back than forward.
Good stuff guys.
Oh and Jeff, you should have known that, it was in my orginal post.
I didn't have blood at the impact site. I took an angle up the hill to the last place I saw him and then my cell vibrated. It was twildasin asking if I saw anything. I informed him I was looking for blood when I saw some and thought wholly moolly look at the blood. For no exit hole there was blood every where. I knew he couldn't be far but I tracked him by blood to look up and tell Tim, there he is, I could see my Tracer blinking out of his huge body at the bottom of the drainage.
