[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1501655, member: 87371"] Well you hit the antelope in a lethal spot and the bullet did its job well, so congratulations. As for the question "is it too far?", I would ask you how long it would have taken you to get to the blood spoor to start tracking the animal if you had merely wounded it? If you were on wheels of some kind and the terrain was flat, it might not have been long. But 1311 yards could have been across a canyon, and if you had been on foot it might have taken all day to reach the point where the animal was when you shot. Under those circumstances, one might well conclude the shot was too far. [/QUOTE]
