Clark,
Great post.
I sure don't have the experience quite a few here have.
But I have seen a couple deer and elk die. Along with a pile of cow and hogs. (Domestic)
My experiences have been better, worse, and the same as other posters.
As you state, placement is a very variable, variable.
Identical hits can even be different due to angle or bullet path.
I find it amusing how so many put their manhood on the line in these conversations.
Really. We had a Ford car. 1. It was a pain, more high dollar problems than all the
cars I have owned, combined. But we did like it.
Honestly have had good service from every other brand we owned.
Never been a Ford fan, that one confirmed it.
The point.
That T-bird confirmed my (personal) bias.
I don't care to own another Ford. (Right price, I would go around again)
For the Ford fans.
Sorry, but those are facts Jack.
However, I don't believe for one second that every Ford is junk.
Or that other 93 T-birds weren't flawless.
Why is this all so dam hard for some to understand.
