How come when someone places a bad shot on an animal with a 300 mag and 2500 lbs KE the deer is never found. I mean come on, you just blasted him with 2500 ft lbs kinetic energy why didnt he die.

Why are there soldiers walking around with bullet wounds, how come that kinetic energy didnt kill them.

An arrow cuts and slices which causes massive hemmoraging(sp) and blood loss,as well as deflating the lungs.


Like I said,you want a hole through the heart/lungs but the massive shock waves kill and kill quickly.With a rifle, both do the job.This is why deer shot with high caliber guns drop in their tracks and deer shot with a .223 run for 100 yards leaving no blood.

How do your shots to the neck kill ,even you bosted about the SHOCK(that shock is KE) as you put it.

Hell,I opened up a deer I shot with a .270 once and there was NO LUNGS OR HEART,they were GONE.This was a 130 gr ppsp wicnchester.That was damage cause from massive shock.
