[QUOTE="L Smith, post: 1612189, member: 108626"] I have hunted pronghorn in West Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming, and have several trophies on the walls. My observation is practice. Your first shot is the most important. Know what your gun will do with its first shot. A second shot will almost always be running which you don't want. Hitting a running goat at any range will be difficult unless you have a lot of practice and experience. Your choice of calibers is okay, good boat tail designs for the longer shots are highly effective. I've taken goats with 22 Cheetah MkII, 243 Win, 257 Ackley Improved, 264 Win Mag, 270 Win, and 44 Rem Mag in a Contender. It doesn't matter what I hit them with, it matters that the first shot counted. Practice in any condition and at any range that you can. Best of luck and have fun ! [/QUOTE]
