[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1498491, member: 92702"] This picture is from '04. Notice the cover in the background. Notice where the bullet hole is. Right in the middle, a little low. It angled somewhat forward. Also take note of a very excited and happy 12 year old girl that just pulled off her longest shot since her first deer on her 6th BD. 171yds. Deer was shot with the .308 and went in a cutover that was super thick. Success! This is what you want. Accept nothing less, and don't expect perfect marksmanship. At twelve years old this child could hit a beer can every time at 200yds and most of the time at 300. Problem is beer cans and paper targets aren't breathing and will not run off and get away. Dogs are seldom needed with a .270 to find a deer. Each step down increases the hunting time after the shot. This is just a fact. In our camp in South Arkansas ALL the wives hunted, and so did all the kids. Been on enough posse hunts after the shot. [/QUOTE]
