My basic point remains: So is archery hunting – I didn't do either. With enough expertise and restraint, either will take down a deer but you do have to be good.
People do it and some do it successfully but it is still below the frequently quoted base energy for ethical deer hunting. I'm pretty sure that one of the places I've seen the 1000 ft-lb figure used was in Michigan Department of Natural Resources literature. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Poachers have done okay with a .22 rifle, too, but I wonder how many deer got wounded and ran off, maybe to heal or maybe to die of sepsis, compared to the ones that got harvested. 
That is throwing a worst case scenario into a discussion when you have a world full of handgun hunters and archers who shouldn't be lumped together with your worst case scenario. Surely you can do better than yet, Mr. Debater, sir. |
