[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1267243, member: 55230"] ft/lbs limits are generalizations for animals being shot in the vitals. The energy deposited into the animal at such points often result in adequate disruption of target organs and CNS. For a small caliber where high neck and head shots are more common the ft/lbs theory is out the window, archery is irrelevant. Tons of variables and KE is less applicable. If you can thread the needle w/ your 223 at 200+ yds and can slip it into a does ear then by all means go for it. Calm day, solid rest, clear shot, I'd take a back of the head/neck shot on a doe all day at 200yds with a 55gr, the 69'r will be just fine. [/QUOTE]
