I just read this post. Now from what you told me you think a Bullet should drop each and every Deer in it's Tracks, yet the Doe you shot with the Deep Curl went 20yds, that's not in it's tracks. Now Im Not tyring to start anything and I take everything you say as (more experience) as you've been in the Game longer than I.
Again, you know I love the XTP's, I've been using them for almost 20 years and have never lost a single Deer with them. Most have gone between 0-40 yds befor expireing some made it longer. All the Deer were either double lung shot or heart shot, yea some high or low in the lungs too. Some bled a-lot, other's did'nt. But the XTP Alway's did it's job, so Im satisfied.
Each and every Deer shot in the same place with the same bullet never did the same thing after deing shot. Some ran, some fell, some bead a-lot and other's did'nt. I believe more than anything it's the Deer itself that determines how it's going to act after the shot. Some are spooked, some are tougher than other's and some just plain have a will to survive and get the heck out of there even though there dead on there feet. Also FAT in a Deer can plug the wound channel and cause no blood. There's so many things that can happen as the bullet enters and exits a Deer to have a the exact same senerio each and every time. If in fack the Deep Curls Droped each and every deer in there tracks then I'd switch in a Heart Beat to them, Im sure everyone would. But Im still not hooked on the fact that a Deer has to drop in it's Tracks after being shot or the Bullet did'nt do it's job.
Like I said in a post befor, I've only seen mabey a dozen Deer in 20 years drop on the sopt after being shot, the rest all ran some distance, it was'nt far but they ran.
I WILL give the Deep Curls a try and post the results next Season. What Bullet and Sabot Exactly do I need to get for My ACCURA?
With a 100% Success rate with the XTP's over a 20 year period I think that's enough testing for me to be convinced they do what there suppos-to. But I am willing to try something new if you recommend it. Also your a FORD Guy like me, My F150's and My Newer Mustang are by far the Greatest Vehicles on the road.
