[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1718108, member: 1715"] Velocity is a negative if you don't have the right bullet construction. Traditional 06 factory loads won't reliably exit even an adult doe. Mags are worse. I used to use ballistic tips in a 30 cal hand gun. The deer would usually just hump up till you put a finisher in them. Construction covers velocity. Shoulder blade shots really vary depending on the animal and the part of the blade you hit and the tip construction. I had a wounded elk bedded in a thicket and put a quiver of steel trocar tipped arrows thru a front shoulder. Then I calmed down and waited for the head to drop. Most arrows had no blades attached when I removed them, but they all penetrated. Ziwicky rules. [/QUOTE]
