Deer would never know the difference. You seem really interested in bullistics. And thats cool. A better outlook would be to get ya a cheaper bullistics program. Made all the difference in the world. Take a look at these websites. They have velocity data for you to input into programs. From there you can calculate drop, energy at various distances. That way, you can move around talltales, myths and opinions. If you want, I can email you a excel spreadsheet where you input these varibles.
