[QUOTE="sbruni, post: 2072793, member: 27945"] I’d venture to guess that there are more animals taken that run at least 30 yards than those that drop on the spot. There’s really just two ways to kill 1) trauma to the nervous system or 2) cut off blood flow to the brain. An effective heart lung shot will only lead to an immediate drop if the trauma spreads to the spinal column. Truckloads of animals run a short distance with heart and lung turned to jelly... So yes the point is to drop them right there but there is a high possibility that they will run a short distance... not a big deal in open country where you’ll still see them drop.... if I’m hunting a GA hardwood bottom transitioning to CRP on one side and a standing cornfield on the other I’ll use a bullet that will give me a pass through... but then that ain’t lrh... but for a tx sendero that might give me longer shots but thick brush along the shooting lanes , probably not the right bullet there either. When you golf you carry a whole bag of clubs so you have the right tool for the job... when you hunt you take one and manage around those limitations... [/QUOTE]
