[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 30615, member: 313"] On the recoil issue: It really doesn't matter whether your shooting a 308, 7mm mag or 300win when the shot is fired at game animals in the field. You're only talking about 1 or 2 shots and under the adreneline rush of the shot, you don't even notice it. Now that 300 Ulta - well that might be a horse of a different color [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] On the arrow vs bullet penetration through a sand bag test: The arrow penetrates because it is very sharp, has a great projectile weight to velocity ratio and it does not deform. The arrow transfers very little energy to the parting sand and pushes through. If you fired a heavy, pointed, non-expanding bullet at the sand bag you would have to make sure that your favorite family pet was not mulling around half a mile behind the bag. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Typical soft point bullets expand readily on sand. The sand very effectively disperses the energy of the expanding bullet and prevents it prom penetrating very far. I have had far more pass-through shots on big game with my arrows that were traveling 250 ft/sec than I have had with my 270,308 and 7-08 shooting expanding hunting bullets at about 3,000 ft/sec. Even my 7STW has had Nosler B-Tip bullets stopped cold by an average Penn whitetail. Oh yeah - the whitetail was stopped cold too. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] VH [/QUOTE]
