The goal was not a 2fer. The goal was to drop the primary target and then pick up runners. Instead, my first shot with the Speer TNT round entered the neck a tad high on the left and exited lower on the opposite side, apparently clipping the cervical spine and immobilizing the primary target. The secondary target was hit with at least 6 fragments that penetrated the skin. This corresponded with a large exit on the primary target's neck. Probing revealed the deepest fragment having penetrated about an inch. The most shallow penetration was about a quarter inch. More than likely, the depth of penetration corresponded with fragment weight, heavier fragments likely penetrating deeper. Given the rains at the time, no attempt was made at recovery of the fragments.
I was slow and low on the follow-up shots on the secondary target, but finally dropped it and put it down for good.
