[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 582611, member: 2736"] No denying, It was a great shot. "BUT" should it have been tried? IMO No ! Paper does not die slowley and painfully animals can and do if everything is not perfict at those ranges. I do not blame the girl, she was just doing what she was told. In his hands it was a possible shot. but even though he coached her how did he know if she was capable of that shot, plus with the wind that was present and in some areas unknown IMO it was a very risky shot with a light weight bullet. That would have been a tough shot with a 338 with the unknowns, so I would have not considered it with anything less. I have seen great shots go bad with just one step of the animal at those bullet flight times and the larger bullets saved the day. This is just my opinion and in no way intended to be moral judgment on anyone. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
