[QUOTE="adnick, post: 649636, member: 35614"] For me, hypothetically, take away the 90% and it changes the whole question: 90% means I have made this same shot 9 out of 10 times without wounding or missing the deer (given the varibles outline above). There is some empirical info: Wind, shooting position (but they don't matter given the 90%) Some inferred: Shooter/equipment capabilities Let me put it another way: If I can make this shot 9 out of 10 times at 100 yards, then I'm a poor shooter and need more practice... If I can do it 9 out of 10 times at 1000 or over then I'm an outstanding marksman and will take the shot every time! But that's my hypothetical self :cool: [/QUOTE]
