Interesting how the bill in the second photo

has penetrated near an outside orange band, yet in the first photo the bill dosen't appear to be near a orange section, if you know what I mean.

You'd have to be kidding

You'd have to be kidding yourself. that a marlin's bill would penetrate 6 layers of high strength rubber like that. It would bounce of that stuff. Maybe a job for mythbusters?
