[QUOTE="tjonh2001, post: 194734, member: 8970"] the reason that you do a high sholder shot on long range animals is that it gives you more room for drop at those ranges. so if you hit low heart, hit back spine/ lungs, forward spine/complete miss, hit alittle high spine. its a win win all over. traditional behind the shoulder. first of all the animal will get adrenilan and run before dies. to far back gutzzz. low miss/ wounded, high spine. forward heart. this can be switched if animal is turned around. point being i dont want to shoot and animal at 800 yards. then walk over there only to start trailing it or to realize that i gut shot it. its all about what puts them down. and it does....
