Neck shot
10yd flopping around


White patch was my aiming point. Dropped immediately and flopped a couple times getting about 10 yards. She was gasping for air still so I added a headshot at close range to finish her.

Both the neckshot and head did not pass through. No bullet recovery so I think it exploded when it hit the neck vertebrae.

Thanks to all the hunters who are providing this very useful information.


Just to remind everyone wishing to contribute, the format for posting a kill is:

BULLET:
BARREL LENGTH (IN.):
WHAT ANIMAL SHOT:
APPR DISTANCE SHOT (M/YDS):
WHERE IN THE BODY IT WAS SHOT:
DISTANCE TRAVELLED AFTER SHOT (M/YDS):

(Barrel length is new, but don't worry about going back to update older posts)


Additionally, over the last few days, a posts were missing some key data. If you would go back and update your posts to provide the data, we can include your survey information in the next chart.

Again, Thanks for all the really good data.

For everyone's convenience, I've included a list of the missing data, below:

Ok, got a bit of time together to get this survey caught back up.

Two charts.

This is an update / recreation of the original chart series. I've tried to keep it as true as possible to the original, while filtering out the corrupt or missing data, such as shot data without distance ran information.

This one is one of my own, extracted from the table for those of you who are curious what bullets are used to take the various game animals. Sure, you could read through the entire thread to get the same information, but I summarized it here for your view pleasure.Survey 2 20181212.jpg

Enjoy, all.
