[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2213383, member: 114151"] Another thing I should have mentioned in my earlier post, shot placement! You can easily go lighter on recoil and focus on shot placement. I myself WAS guilty and known plenty of other that are to this day, bigger harder hitting doesn’t make up for bad shooting. I have missed a deer at 75 yds off hand, due to lack of practice. I have also taken deer at 150 yds off hand. Set personal limits. A larger caliber/bullet doesn’t make up for a poor shot. On my main hunting rifle, 280 Remington, I have a field limit of 400 yds w/ a good rest (prone or sitting) Plenty of folks will go further and my particular set up is good to 600+ yds. A lot of personal decisions go into the shot. I was recoil shy at one point, and spent a lot of time with a 22-250 and 243 to break that. I also used double ear protection for awhile, plugs + muffs. As a grown man, it was tough to realize and admit, but once I did and worked through it I have reaped the benefits since. [/QUOTE]
