[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1353952, member: 30902"] Hydrostatic shock is only a small part of the equation. There is no hydrostatic shock with an arrow. The broad head simply lacerates a large cross section of the vessels and they bleed out. The larger the hole, the more rapid the blood loss. Hydrostatic shock helps because it essentially explodes blood vessels beyond the permanent wound channel but the lower the energy on impact the less of an effect it has. Small caliber and particularly low velocity shots to the head often fail to penetrate the skull and do minimal damage if the do often not penetrating deep enough into the brain to have an immediate effect on the necessary portions of the brain to cause instant brain death. I've seen quite a few large, dangerouns African animals such as elephant, hippo, and rhino hit perfectly with solids from African magnums like the .416 Rigby and even with brain shots not go down or expire instantly. I've seen several Elephants on video hit perfectly with a frontal brain shot with again solids keep charging and require immediate backup shots. [/QUOTE]
