[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 586729, member: 2011"] What's my best shot? That's easy. Many years ago several of us were riding down the canyon (horses) 3 deer are spotted on top look down at us. Dismount, sit, look, one fork horn, two doe. Two of us sat to attempt the shot. Third fella counted down, quite doubtfully, counted down for the shot. Shooting 270 Win, 130 Sierra Boat tails. Other fella shooting an '06. The forky was quartering towards us only head, neck and part of front shoulder visible. I head the Leuy VX-II @ 9X with only the neck and head visible in the field of view. Rifle zero'd @ 200 yds. At "Shoot" both rifles went off simultaneously. Ron walked up the hill. I took the horses for a 30 min round about ride to get there. As I got close I saw blood on his hands. Sweet!!! That night when he was skinned out the bullet found that had entered the front left shoulder and was under the skin ahead of the right ham was a boat tail. Whooo Hoooo. Ron was shooting flat bases. Still have the well formed bullet remains. What will be my next best shot? Most certainly the next one!!:) [/QUOTE]
