jro45,

Sorry, but 5" or even 14" of penetration is not enough IMHO.

I can't remeber what you are hunting but
An Angling shot from one side of a large animal, entering about 5th
rib and angling towards the heart/lung/shoulder is not guaranteed
of making it or doing the damaged to the shoulder bone / joint (NOT Blade)
when it gets there.

Also, what about a follow up shot from the rear - 14" is not going to take out
the hip, penetrate the gut and get though the diaprham to the vitals.

Anyway, it's your hunt so I'll leave it to you.

500 Nitro
