[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 961815, member: 56732"] . Even long range has variables to it. Take a seal in the water. The best shot is to pop the top off his head off just as he inhales a 300 yard shot is very long range when the seal is bobbing and the skiff is rising and falling in the waves. Shot timing is absolutely critical. The target is around 2"×4" . And high velocity is very important. Almost all seal hunters also hunt deer. Most of them use their seal rifles. So head or high neck shots are what they use. . The neck makes some of the best roasts on a ruminate and a boned out bull moose neck will make ALOT of burger or ground meat for sausage. I've head shot plenty of deer in the head or neck. My caribou I shot straight on in the neck but that was because of the angle he was standing on. . On a true broadside shot at deer I prefer just at the back of the shoulder but my favorite shot is at the upper side of the blade and under the spine. It always dumps the animal where it stood from spinal concussion and takes out the top of the lungs. As I use tough bullets I loose very little meat. On bears I smash the shoulders. Usually I shoot for the offside shoulder depending on how it is standing. [/QUOTE]
