[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 199394, member: 10334"] Cole: I have taken many Antelope with Rifles in caliber 243 Winchester. Antelope have a "built in" (when broadside) aiming point for the heart/lungs shot. A Harris type bi-pod (swiveling model) is highly recommended. I also highly recommend NOT shooting the Antelope through the shoulders! Use the heart/lung shot let them run off (usually about 60 to 100 yards) and they will completely bleed out in about 5 seconds. This heart/lung shot helps the taste of the meat to be at its best also. Psych your son up to be able to Hunt ALL day! Get him well rested at night and have Visine on hand to help deal with the dry and sometimes dusty air/wind induced eyestrain! Also have sunscreen along to help protect the youngsters skin. If its windy for your stalk try to get the wind at you and your sons backs as you approach. This simplifies the shot as wind deflection will be minimal. I NEVER shoot at running Antelope, EVER! Its one thing to shoot at a walking or trotting Antelope but when they are stretched out and dashing - save your ammo and save the high probability that an unintended Antelope may be hit, wounded etc. Best of luck on your upcoming venture. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
