This discussion highlights that while precise shot placement is crucial for any ethical hunt, cartridge choice significantly matters when engaging large, heavy-boned game like bison. Smaller cartridges may struggle with penetration and deflection off bone, leading to prolonged struggles, whereas larger cartridges like the 300 PRC or 7 PRC demonstrate more decisive results on vital organs. The choice of bullet construction, particularly copper versus lead, also plays a critical role in terminal ballistics and penetration.

Zach Rozmus of Midwest Whitetail discusses optimal shot placement for bowhunting deer, focusing on three angles: quartering to, broadside, and quartering away. He emphasizes understanding the margin of error for each angle and considering bow poundage for quartering-to shots due to potential bone obstruction. Broadside offers the largest margin of error due to vital exposure, while quartering away is his personal favorite for its potential to expose larger lung and heart areas.
