I think some percentage of the recoil is countered by the amount of 'thump' you know the recipient of the projectile will be feeling....fordwannabe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 2:03 pmDoc. I have shot it enough that I know the recoil doesn’t bother me.
The only thing about head-shots on deer is that a shot 4" off center may be lethal, but only very slowly (I'll never forget seeing a game-warden display at the county fair with photos of wounded game, hit by cars, caught in fences, and so on - one was a starved deer with the front of the jaw dangling limp, having been perforated with a bullet). Same with some nasal shots, or neck shots that just go through the meat and miss arteries, spine, etc. Personally, I'd try for a good old chest shot.fordwannabe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 2:10 pmA head shot on a doe att 20-50 yards with a 500-550 grain bullet would just be devastating, I am guessing.

It is true you could wound but there is a lot more air around that head than deer. As to the attorney I believe having talked to my attorney he would like to “discuss this with them” AND he better not charge me....I been his big brother since his first breath.
