My encore barked again on Friday evenings hunt,taking a nice 8 point.
The most interesting part to me was the fact that due to a slight miscalculation on my part,I shot about 2" left of where I wanted to,and CENTERED a 3" elm tree,passing through it into another 2" sapling,and then into the deer.
The 250grain T/C Shockwave Bonded bullet entered at the last rib,and angled through his liver and lungs,through the shoulder plate,and stopped just under the hide !
Powder charge was 1-150grain Should Good Stick.
Range was April 45-50 yards.
I was quite impressed with how much bullet was left after hitting 5"+ of wood!
I will weigh the bullet when I get a chance to see what remains.
