You mean the one that proves even heavy, slow moving bullets deflect enough to miss or wound an animal? There was also 3 oter published tests with the same results.

yep there are no "brush busters". no one should shoot thro brush at an animal unless they are starving to death and really need meat that bad.

The other day I called in a 6-8 point buck (with one of those cans). It ran right up to my blind, stopped about 25-30 yards away and posed for a shot. Now if anybody was shooting a "brush-buster" it was me -- a Premium Gold 12 gauge sabot. I fired and the deer bounded merrily away. I couldn't believe I missed but there was no blood anywhere (and much snow for tracking). So I went back to my alley and found one 1/2 inch grape vine with a neat channel cut right through the middle. I suppose it deflected high. I certainly wasn't trying to shoot through brush. I just didn't see the branch. But I'll never knowingly shoot at a deer into brush. It's not worth wounding an animal that I might not recover.

Rhetoric has made my point ! Unless you are hunting in totaly open fields,you have no idea what lies in you bullets flight path ! So,what do you do ?????? I don't even think about it. This will make you parinoid[sp]. I have taken most every deer i've shot at from 30 yards to 200. Am i just lucky ?
