[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2321264, member: 1656"] 1) In my book 10mm/357Mag range is the minimal effective handgun and I'm comfortable with them. Just built a 10mm 6" longslide 1911. Bullets in this velocity range are starting to get to the point they cause really ancillary damage. I've seen deer shot with 40SW/9mm....not impressive at all. 44Mag is a legitimate step up and entirely satisfying. I guess it depends what archery gear you are comparing to. In my younger years I got lured into the speed/lightweight/expanding broadhead story...for a single season. I had several entirely adequate shots turn bad due to lack of penetration. Some due to arrow weight, some due to angle with the expanding heads. I went back to fixed broadheads and heavy arrows and have never had a repeat issue and never looked back. One can't directly compare the two on any real metric...energy etc...they kill differently. No pistol bullet as a 1-1.25" cutting diameter from entry to exit, for example. [/QUOTE]
