[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 21328, member: 34"] Hello We killed bear with the sighter shot method and the bear did not run at all. This one was at 750 yards. There was others but, the yardage on this one was close to the one in the story you mentioned. The point is you must be far enough off with your sighter round for animals like the bear and the Coyote. What looks like 100 yards off from a 1000 yards away may not be. The sighter round is mainly for the windage adjustment if you have shot your rifle enough and know the clicks at the various ranges. Again an accurate drop chart is a must. As mentioned before, the sound is usually not a factor at longrange especially with deer and elk. Obviously if your first shot goes in close to or below the animal (I'm still talking about deer and elk), he will normally run about 25 to 50 yards, stop and look back at what that impact noise was. Sometimes they will walk up and stick their nose in the impact hole. They are not alarmed at all (In most cases). The bear and cotote are a bit more alarmed at CLOSE noise. Make your sighter round at least 100 yards away (or further) and you should have no problems. Hope that helped a bit. DC [ 12-03-2001: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
