[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2854827, member: 126985"] The most important shot is the first, the cold bore shot. I killed 99% of big game inside 100 yds. Only one at 600 yds. I shoot 5 shot groups to know what happens as the barrel heats up, looking for impact changes. I shoot off hand alot, sitting position, practice. No bench shooting, prone to sight in, also know bullet impact at 10 and 25 yds. And practice on small moving targets like rabbits with your 338 mag and scope set on 2x or 3x scope cause atleast one third are killed on the run, or moving. Off hand shooting almost 100 % of the time, and almost all inside 100 yds. From the mountains, the high desert, and the rainforest, it seemed difficult to find a LR shot but easy to find one at 100 yds or less. I bow hunted for 10 yrs, it was easy to kill a deer every year. My native American hunting companion killed 10 deer with a bow in a couple weeks of bow hunting season, illegally feeding everyone in his family. And he'd even go into the brush after a fiercely, intensly, angry wounded bear, last observed growling, spinning, and biting at the arrow shafts in his chest,...with a bow. He also strangled wounded or trapped coyotes, to preserve the hides from a bullet hole for more cash per hide, and didn't want to to shoot em. Hunting, is a differently defined activity, for those who participate, food & hides, to sport hunting, to just shooting. [/QUOTE]
