[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1868772, member: 88929"] People kill elk with an arrow all the time. How much energy you think it produces? While im not arguing with your theory because I naturally think the same way I would like to add that a 160 grain matrix with a mv of say 3300 is more than enough for all at 1200. Heck seen an Elk taken at 1714 with a berger140vld. Did it get knocked over from the hit...of course not. But it went clean through both lungs as well as any arrow ever could. The Elk actually continued to feed for a couple minutes then laid down. We knew he was hit in the lungs as we could see the impact. By the time we got there he had expired. I dont feel this is any less ethical then bow hunting. Same rules apply. Shot placement is critical. But to your point yes a fifty cal will most certainly do more damage on impact than a 6.5.
