[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4233373, member: 49426"] Seems odd that removal would be risky based on the injury description. The final resting place of the projectile may be inside the rib cage somewhere. The article says it was a rifle and the distance was 1/4 mile. Typically rifle round 2500 ft/sec to 3200. Probably on the higher side in open flat country. 1/4 mile = 1320 feet (440 yards), but the distance is not very precise. 440 yards out is well within what a rifle shooter in flat country should have been thinking about when judging if the shot was safe. It takes a rifle about 1/2 second to cover the distance. Acceleration from gravity = 32.2 ft per second Depending on speed and distance a reasonable first estimate would be 2 to 5 feet of drop for a level shot. With a varmint round, probably on the low side of the estimate. So it's in the range of possible from the reported information. [/QUOTE]
