[QUOTE="bowhunter42, post: 566511, member: 32635"] I would like to chime in on this subject sense I just witnessed what a high shoulder shot can and will do. My girlfriend, who just started shooting this last march and hunting this october Killed her first animal ever and it was a spike at 371 yards this last saturday. she is shooting a 270 with 140 grain Nosler AB's I told her to put the round right square in the center of his shoulder and I would back her up with my 300. at the shot the spike dropped in his tracks which left me open to shooting at a six point that was bedded behind the spike. after the smoke had cleared and the herd had ran off,she turned to me and said let me guess I missed, I started laughing and said nope you dropped him right in his tracks. she looked thru her scope and that is when she started screaming and shaking like a leaf. I was amazed at how well that 270 had dispatched that elk, it broke the shoulder and the spine and made her year. I don't think her feet touched the ground for 2 days and the smile has not left her face. as for the six point I tried to take a neck shot, only shot I had, But it was a clean miss.:cool: [/QUOTE]
