[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 202294, member: 2736"] This will always be a controversial subject but the energy requirements that you read about are supposed to be a guideline "NOT A MUST" based on quick one shot kills in the heart/lung area(Where most shots are made) A case in point, Just the other day in the newspaper there was a horse and her 7 day old fold that had been shot with a pellet rifle by some vandals. The fold died a slow and painfull death because the pellet had gone through it's heart. Assuming you make a perfict shot every time you will not need these energy's But this is not a perfict world and some times if the animal runs off he/she may not be recoverd. I like to try and use these energys when possible but sometimes have to take a head or neck shot if I feel like I dont have enough gun for the animal or the distance. Shot placement and bullet choice are the most important but enough energy can mean the difference in recovery of the animal or not. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
