[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1693795, member: 19988"] 22 Hornet, man that brings back memory’s. I killed my first doe with that. Broadside shots, neck shots, head shots it got the job done. That call gun showed me a lot. It taught me that at 150 yards it can take a deer, Broadside IF it does not hit bone. It also showed me it can take a deer around 130 yards when facing me and duck at the last second. It wasn’t pretty. Head shot. It went right through the skull. I was around 9 or 10 years old when this happened. I cried like a baby. It was a hard lesson learned. I never forgot how it made me feel and I never wanted to feel that way again. Pop was telling me that’s why you need to know your rifle and know your target. Know that once you pull that trigger you can’t take it back. I also learned that the skull is no where near as thick as the Shoulder bone. I know now around 300 ft-lbs energy can Penetrate the skull on a deer but not the shoulder. The shoulder is probably 10x more thicker. That’s why I developed my own Theory on energy and it has work for me over the past 35+ years. [/QUOTE]
