( sort of sorry for cherry picking
from the comment )
When I started hunting in the 70's,
all the magazines were raving about
bullet expansion and how important
it was to have the picture perfect
mushroomed bullet just under the
hide on the off side.
IMO if I can destroy the pumpkin/
pump house/ heart-lungs, I'll have
my animal, no doubt no question.
Without blood to the brain, they're
toast. When I started serious bow
hunting, it was an epiphany. That
a stick with a razor on the scary end
could make a grown deer limp as
a dishrag was astounding to me.
After the first one, my old "obsolete "
firearms seemed like a death raygun
shooting lightning bolts to me.
Like Charles Morse said, what one
man can do another can do
