[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 1735655, member: 38547"] There was an extensive study done on why some animals drop and some run away. I believe it was in Africa autopsys were performed on numerous dont quote me but I think 500 animals. it was decided that if the blood is flowing towards the brain when the hydrostatic shock hits it causes a stroke the animal falls over dead (drt) if the blood is flowing away from the brain or there is insufficient hydrostatic shock to force it that direction the animal runs away. this excludes spine shots which shouldn't count as the animal is not drt it is prt. imho this is why high shoulder shots are so effective. large amounts of body fluid and a short path directly to the brain heart shots as well but the shoulder absorbs much of the energy decreasing transfer to the heart.
