[QUOTE="djtjr, post: 913423, member: 13195"] I am not sure I agree with part of this. if a dead animal as the end result of a long range hunt is success that's fine but not caring whether it takes 1 or 3 shots sounds terrible. If you can't make a good first round hit you shouldn't be hunting at that range and need more practice. A clean miss is one thing and you can get a new dope off that and shoot again but if you think 3 shots to get animal down is acceptable perhaps you need to reevaluate your hunting ethics. Again stuff happens and you may need to follow up but if you can't make a first round hit a very high percent of the time don't shoot at that range till you can. If you are shooting simply hoping to get on the animal to slow him down to shoot again you're doing it wrong. Perhaps this is not what you meant but again if you not reasonably sure you will be in the kill zone please don't shoot. [/QUOTE]
