Not criticizing you HatchieLuvr, it's just not for me.
Me either. I just cant bring myself to take that shot presentation no matter if its a trophy class deer or not. I hunt for meat and over 90% of my shots are "text book" double lung broadside shots.
Taking that kind of shot i want the most amount of tissue displacement as possible and two holes. Barnes quite often deliver this kind of displacement regardless of the shot angle.
High shoulder shots ruin a huge amount of meat too even with a 185gr copper bullet.
"Text book" shots do not unless you like to eat the heart.
