[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1754067, member: 75451"] Ft/lbs of energy on game is quite misunderstood, and misrepresented. I shot an elk at under 50 yards with a 270 grain bullet @ just under 3K, from a .375 AI. He never flinched, merely starting walking faster....then tipped over. That same “misunderstood” 3500+ ft/lbs is also absorbed by the shooter. Yes, the rifles weight mitigates it a bit. The shooter rolling with the punch, reduces it somewhat....but physics is physics! For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object! You, the shooter received the same energy, minus what the rifle absorbed! And, your still here! memtb [/QUOTE]
