[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 18148, member: 34"] Jerry It also depends on the distance you are hunting/shooting and the equipment you use. Some on this forum hunt one way and others hunt another. The equipment used is entirely different. If the shots are only in the 500, 600 or 700 yard range, the one shot method will work fine most everytime. With our big guns and the setup we have, those shots at that range, are taken directly at the animal unless there's a real "stong" cross wind to deal with. We then revert to the sighter shot method to make "sure" of the shot. It all depends on what is encountered as far as conditions. A nice calm day at 6 or 700 yards is a one shot kill for us to. Once the range goes beyond 1000 yards though, it's a different ballgame entirely. That's why we rely on the sighter method. I think the range and conditions dictates the style and method one "should" employ here. To be "sure" of the bullet impact and placement and at the distance we shoot, the sighter method works for us to perfection because of the range we set up for and have been successful at. To each his own on style, method and equipment owned. You still need a good rangefinder and an accurate drop chart to begin with. Optics (bigeyes) are most important along with a good hunting partner or team member also. Later DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
