[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2661420, member: 25377"] I've had bullets pencil through animals before. The animal still dies. I fail to see how you can pass a bullet through both lungs, and have it live. I've heard stories of guys that mindlessly noc'd a field point instead of their broadhead... and stuffed a field point through both lungs with a bow. Same result... deer died. Lungs fill with blood, and they asphyxiate or simply die from internal blood loss. Tracking is a massive problem, as there isn't much for blood to get out. However, they die all the same. When I hear stories like the one described, I can't help but think the shooter simply missed the mark. This isn't mean to be a slight, but as a mentor of shooters, even in a target situation, a huge percentage of shooters are unable to properly call their trace/misses. Even their hits, they often call in the wrong location on the target. Lungs are a very fragile organ. Very soft tissue. It doesn't take much damage to cause them to stop functioning properly. Lungs with holes through them don't work well, regardless of how the hole gets there. I submit that bullets penciling through is less of a problem than proper shot placement. ----------- [URL='https://www.instagram.com/primalrights']Follow on Instagram[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/primalrights']Subscribe on YouTube[/URL] [URL='https://amzn.to/3txlBnp']Amazon Affiliate[/URL] [URL='http://www.primalrights.com'][IMG]http://primalrights.com/images/signatures/sig2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
