The Grendel at 400 yards has a significantly greater energy delivery than any bow does, but bow hunters take thousands of animals ethically every year. Elk, Bison, and hogs are all taken with air guns every year, and they have significantly less energy than the Grendel does, too. Heck, air guns have taken Cape buffalo as well.Yes good point I have taken over 75 hogs with a bow 12 blacktail out to 71 yds but a arrow makes a heck of a hole completley different wound channel and the bleeding is UFR. As always thanks for input. ED
Of course, shot placement is critical, but todays bullets, if properly chosen, will drop animals. Properly chosen bullets won't blow up on contact, they will penetrate and do tremendous damage.
