Not surprised. I shot through a living tree in 2008? with the 250gr thor @ 50 yards. I think it was around 10" thick or there about. No tree stands in the way of a barnes! LOL
This thread was bad luck for me as well. 20 minutes after reading, i accidentally knocked the V2 over and ended up knocking the scope off target. It was 4" high @ 100 when i took it out to double check.
