well slaughter houses also kill at point blank range and have control of the animals movements...not an equivalent comparison
I'm not against head shots, but they have limitations, only very close range for me....so far I've taken one head shot on a buck at 30 yards with a rest from my blind
here is a failed headshot, with another one in his velvet and then we dropped him with a boiler room shot....bumped into the other group that lost the moose and they said he dropped immediately, as they were walking up he jumped up and took off, second shot into his antlers.....with all the velvet bleeding there was a grizz already on him, wasn't happy we stole his dinner, had some nerve wracking company for the rest of the night
maybe the moose would have healed in this example, but the shooter didn't get the meat either
Unfortunately, the rifles are getting lighter because we are getting heavier and more unfit as a society. This is the key to the mainstream acceptance of the short magnums. - Nathan Foster
