Tall Shadow, My personal test is a 12 oz plastic soda bottle with smooth sides with 1 wrap 1/4" over-lap ok of duct tape on side of bottle fill with (I use red tinted clear corn syurp) a red colored thick liquid. THIS represents the thin hide. At 100yds caught on film from a distance of 20 yds it is most impressive especially with sound. A gallon jug of colored water I expect would give a rough estamate of a woodchuck impact at the same distance remember this is simply a bullet test for explosive effects. I've gotten a perfect shoulder shot and during extraction I saw its head still in the air! It landed about 3' from original impact.
Hehehehehe! I wish you had video of that shot!

Thanks for all of the good info.....and I will have to try your "Mist" test with the soda bottle & duct tape.
