No, not yet. That is off the table for this season. I just want to sort this out and know what to practice with this spring. And I am not asking about which one will be easier to hit with trajectory wise. I am wondering about which one will work better kn the terminal end for smallish deer at reduced speeds. I am worried about poke throughs. Thanks.
