Thread: Minimum foot pound/ velocity for animal kills

there is a story of an elephant poacher who when caught and questioned about how he killed beasts told how he couldnt draw his elephant bow any more and was using .22 shorts!!!! by getting in REALLY close and under animal and placing shot through thin skin of armpit into heart..... stuff that for a game of soldiers!!! Ive shot a couple of boards with the .22lr and it wasnt a lot of fun....much better with enough gun.
