[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1511804, member: 9467"] I don't believe it's a "poor shot", the animal is dead isn't it? Now, if you were aiming for the lungs and the bullet went into the guts instead of the shoulder, then yes that would be a "poor shot". That is one reason I prefer the high shoulder shot, more room for error and farther away from possibly hitting the guts and never finding the animal. Let's face it, we are killing animals, there's nothing "nice" about it. Enough talk about "it would look good on TV"...we get it, there's TONS of jealousy on this site about LR hunting shows! Get over it! If you didn't have the capital, skills, experience or motivation to start your own show then don't knock those that did! And if you feel a high shoulder shot is such a "poor shot" then get closer to the animal so it won't happen again. [/QUOTE]
