shoulder bone

I am shooting 12 gage lightfields, will this blow through shoulder bondes and brisket? I am curious about quartering to and straight on shots. I normally bow hunt and these shots are a major no no with a bow so i was just curios what you guys thought about slugs.

RE: shoulder bone

A 12 gauge slug is devastating. It will blow through both shoulders most likely. I'd avoid straight on shots.

RE: shoulder bone

yes it will go through almost everything

if you feel comfortable with a dead on shot, take it.

RE: shoulder bone

when they're dead on aim for the neck. that way you'll either drop them deadin their tracks or miss like hell. nothing worse than wounding one with a non-vital shot and having to track forever.

Exactly.Unless I need to make a shot longer (in a rifle state)than 100 yards I'm always carryingmy 870. I shoot sabots though. They hitREALLY hard and will put them down if you do your part.
