At 880 fps this 176 grain dart should have gone much further into the target.
The T shirt acted like a drag racing parachute.
The positive is that the Trom-Boyn is shooting faster and one 174 grain dart was clocked at a blazing 1011 fps.
Terrible ballistic coefficient dart

I agree on the poor penetration. I countersink nails in one shot.
Just as long as it's good enough for your range
