RE: slug vs. buckshot
never said a thing about a pass thru--i expect that with my bow-- buck shot at 60 yards goes thru the deer and stops just under the hide on the far side. you don't beleive me, come on up, one hanging on the pole now, you can watch it being skinned and see where the pellets are. i've used buck shot for 40 years, i know what it does!
