[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1461170, member: 1656"] I am much more concerned with bullet design and using it as intended than energy. Most hunting pistols have far less energy than rifles, but their bullets are fundamentally different, open at lower velocities, and start and a greater diameter to begin with. Those comparing low energy rifle or non-expanding bullets to archery don't seem to have mentioned that a broadhead creates a permanent 1.25"-1.5" wound channel, which is actually larger than what many bullets do. So animals hit with good placement typically go down in reasonable distances, yet on average longer than a good rifle hit due to lack of wider damage due to energy transfer arrows lack. [/QUOTE]
