My bad. You're from the land of Holdens and Ford Falcons and Chrysler hemi sixes.

All good stuff.

In any case I just can't take John Taylor's TKO formula seriously. Kamiloroi I think nailed it; it's the ability of the hunter that counts. Very few of us are Karamojo Bell, but it's where you put the hole that counts most. We have a saying in the states; close only counts with hand grenades and nuclear weapons.

I've shot deer here in the US that showed no visible sign of being hit. I didn't even believe I hit them until I followed them up.

I certainly don't think I can stake my life on some theoretical "knock out" formula. All due respect to John Taylor, who had a lifetime more experience than I'll likely ever get on game. But what experience I do have tells me that I can't count on an animal reacting a certain way.
