[QUOTE="junior71, post: 654182, member: 37517"] Well we use to shoot a ton of deer on crop damage permits. Back then we didn't have money for good bullets and shot whatever we could find cheap. "Yes, young and dumb, with no respect to the animal"! We got a box of those old armor piercing bullets in 30-06. Long story short. I can tell you first hand that just because a deer is shot in the front shoulder does not meen he will fold up. The shoulder has to be hit perfect with those hard *** bullets. The old barnes was the same way. Miss the spot high and your **** out of luck. We even had deer survive those shots, and killed them the next year. Even today with good bullets, there is not a lot of room for error shooting the shoulder. Esp. for someone just starting out. I advise aiming at the crease until they get a few deer under their belt. I don't know the op, and he may not know broadside from quatering away? This has nothing to do with bullet performance, and the TTSX is a good one from what I have read. [/QUOTE]
