[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 913908, member: 39801"] +1. Thanks for writing all of that, so I don't have to. My experience is exactly the same - many deer run like crazy with a heart/lung shot regardless of bullet (that said, I won't say bullet doesn't matter at all). I shot a doe this fall with a 168 Berger Classic hunter. The internal damage to the heart and lungs was amazing. She ran 110 yards. Flipped her over and there was significant lung tissue outside of the wound. Significant lung tissue. Top of the heart was gone. Shot a little buck with a 100gr Montec and he dropped 15 yards away. I am pretty sure my bow creates less KE than my rifle. High shoulder often drops 'em. Neck shots drop 'em. Head shots drop 'em. If you blow any of these shots, the outcomes can be crappy. True of all shots I guess, but more so of these IMO. [/QUOTE]
