I guess it all depends on bullet placement. A double-lung shot or a heart shot will do little damage to meat (although I do enjoy the heart) but the best for dropping your game in it's tracks is the spine shot - preferably high on the shoulder blade or close to the head. A well placed broadhead will do even less damage to the meat... eh, Larry?
