Never assume right, small southern deer had me thinking lonestar state. I don't remember touting anything about a shockwave let alone a mythical one ( although I almost had a crack at a unicorn last fall) I said energy has to have apart, if not then deer would run the same distance with a heart /lung shot from anything, say a bow, a .22 mag. 22-250 30-06. If they run 100 yrds from a thru &thru from a 1" broad head, and 30 yrds from a thru& thru from an '06, then what is the differeniating factor. It wouldn't be ft/lbs of energy imparted to the body would it? Holes kill right, how can a buffalo with a hole thru his heart and blood pumping out like a garden hose stay on his feet for 2-3min, other then just being tough he was literally dead on his feet.I don't know that a 45-70 with the same shot would have knocked him off his feet and had the same end result, I do know I wish I had something of that nature at the time.
