[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2006420, member: 101791"] Knowing your cartridge and how it's travels down range go a long way in shot placement. Knowing your kill zones on an animal is just as important and how to place that round. Not all shots are going to be broad side either. Knowledge of the animal that you are going to hunt. Where their vitals areas are. How to get that shot placed into those areas. A frontal shot 1/4 toward you, or a rear shot 1/4 away from you. They all can be placed and clean kills. A large part of my shots have been heart shots over the years. I have had them drop in their tract, but most run for a ways, out to as much as 150 yards or there about. It's doesn't matter what rifle you are shooting, They will work, it can limit your shooting distance. So knowing your rifle and how it fly down range is a must along with shot placement. So I totally agree with J E CUSTOM. [/QUOTE]
