Ive shot one that was gut shot with a bow, with my 45 acp, and it knocked the deer off its feet when the bullet hit. It was a 130lb 6pt my cousin shot.
We trailed the deer up and found it bedded down no more than 10ft from us. He tried to shoot it in the head to put it out of his misery and hit high through the ears. Shot with pistol was roughly 20 yards. Im just glad it stopped for a split second.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.
