You are very perceptive. That shot was somewhat difficult. I had an easier shot 5 years ago despite it being over twice as far. As you can see, I didnt have time to get a suitable support under the stock. My crosshairs were in a constant circling motion around the vitals. Normaly I would be very nearvous about moving so much because I ussualy have a rock steady hold in a normal position but since I was able to keep the motion in the vital area, I followed it through to the end. I dont even remember my finger settling in on the trigger, I just remember half way through the trigger's cycle I realized how I was building steady pressure on the trigger when it would have been so easy to punch it. I talked myself through it and said to myself, youre doing great, just keep building steady pressure despite the motion, a moment later the shot happend which was a total suprise. When I came off the recoil, I saw he was down.
