[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1126864, member: 88320"] I think when shooting at game at LR foot pounds is a huge considerations (This assumes you are shooting an accurate rifle). Low foot lbs work OK on a perfect shot ( heart and lungs) but what if you hit a shoulder or hip. Lets face it all shots at long range arnt perfect, sometimes you miss judge the wind. IMO 1000FT LBs on a elk front shoulder might not do the job. It will on a coues deer. My suggestion to all is be fair to the game use something that will still do the job when things arnt perfect. More ft Lbs the better [/QUOTE]
