My 3-d rig is set up as a mirror of my hunting rig and produces somewhere in the neighbourhood of 80 ft/lbs of KE so to me target damage is a non issue.

I was under the apearently mistaken impression that they did considerable damage on impact. I have heard stories like those of greybark of passthrough at long range on targets. If this is not the case them I am truely mistaken. I would like to see how they perform on 3D targets to form a valid oppinion...Steve.
It's better to pass on a shot that you wish later you took, then to take a shot and wish later you didn't.
