Congrats!!! That's awesome!!
They work until they don't, just like drop away rests and straight walled rifle cartridges. Imagine if it was an elk, that can run 5 times as far with the same wound. That's why a lot of elk outfitters do not allow mechanicals. Try fixed blades. Strikers or Slick trick magnums are good picks.
Correct. The movement of the shoulders likely kept the holes covered with hide and tissue.
