Sure, all good points, but a broadhead kills by inflicting a laceration to a vital organ that will cause the animal to bleed out, fall unconscious, and expire. That takes time. Sometimes, no more time than a buff center-punched with a big-bore rifle, but usually much more. A buff wearing a broadhead through the vitals is not "wandering around wounded". It has been fatally shot and is rapidly hemorrhaging to death, exactly as intended. If a PH was in the habit of firing his rifle within a second or two of an arrow strike, however perfect, just because the animal didn't immediately fall over, I suspect he would find himself waiting a long time between bowhunter bookings! ...and apologies to all, not meaning to be argumentative here, but bullets and broadheads can be equally effective when properly placed but are polar opposites in how they achieve quietus. That's all I'll say on the matter. |
