[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1343995, member: 2011"] I liked the tone and openness of the discussion. I certainly agree with every thing said as there are some good pointers from a person who has seen tons of hunters of various abilities. The comment that the ability to spot your shot being vitally important is the comment that struck me the most. The relationship between size of cartridge and this ability was noted. Me being a bit of a particular old geezer with a major hangup on spotting each shot I can spot all shots with each of my rifles including 270 WSM, 338 RUM, 300 Win and 375 Allen Magnum. None of these are stock factory rifles. Each has been heavily modified by me or someone who knows what they are doing as with the one fully custom rig. Also all are either braked or suppressed. I also haven't required more than on shot on an animal for longer than I can remember. (which in my case may have been yesterday...) Having said that one should know that I only brake the trigger under nearly perfect prone shooting position. It's either that or the shot isn't taken until I am comfortable with the position. I'm in no hurry, not starving for meat and not lucky enough to be trophy hunting. I simply don't want to have to chase anything. Way too darn old for that... [/QUOTE]
