[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1396342, member: 99718"] Years ago, mid 70s, we didn't have all these high tec. things of today. When a shot was questionable the guys that taught me said to get the same range in a different direction, preferably on an adjacent mountain ( so you didn't scare the deer ) and take a practice shot. It only takes one practice shot I'm sure you know, as long as someone knows where it hit. This is in the mountains of PA. And the next shot is usually a hit on the intended target. This is still as good of method I feel if not better, because you are adjusting for the actual conditions at that time, no mistakes calculating information and it is fast. Bang! splat!, I saw it hit, move back onto the target, BANG! capuump! He's down!! Just about that fast! I like it, and so does my wallet. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
