[QUOTE="jhendri2, post: 51605, member: 217"] Warren, Thanks for the explanation. I never considered body weight as another force vs. recoil. Your explantion was very well stated and very correct. Perceived "Knockdown" plainly stated is the instantanous shutdown of the central nervous system of the animal. Though a brain shot may not cause this, as evidenced by the residual movement the animal maintains, i.e. leg kick etc. (the chicken with it's head cut off) from the electronic pulses left in the nervous system. When the animal goes assystoly (from a heart shot) there is still may brain activity but the central nervous system has not shut down (why an animal may run several yards from a heart shot). If the heart shot sends the brain into shock the animal may appear to have been "knocked down" by the shot but it is simply in shock from it. These may be instantaneous in their timing, therefore the myth of "knockdown". Anyway, thanks again Warren for your very well stated explanation. Jim [/QUOTE]
