[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1978801, member: 87243"] More to add! Had my Wife try her hand with my .338, she did quite well! We spotted a group of goats out in the field, and my 7 year old son, my wife and I got to a well hidden spot and prepared for the shot. We picked out a large doe, and I ranged it. 361 yards. Put in the slight dope, and had my wife do a couple dry fires. The doe bedded down, but my wife said she still felt comfortable taking the shot. I got behind the spotter and told my wife to take the shot when she was ready, and watched as she sent it right through the front of the boiler room, the doe never even flinched just flopped over. Terminal performance is as follows!

My Wife and son with her harvest. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20200912_175418.jpg"]213745[/ATTACH] Due to the fact she was bedded, upon exiting the bullet hit the heaviest part of the scapula bone as well as the bottom of the spine, and blew bone fragments everywhere, while also having a surprisingly modest exit hole compared to the other goats taken. So while it didn't look bad, upon butchering this one had the most meat damage of the goats taken so far. Lost around 4-5 lbs, but considering where the bullet hit, I'm not surprised.
