[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1632523, member: 2736"] Lots of good post and examples of the use of different methods. I am a believer in the saying that close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. so I use the most accurate method I can. If I don't have time to change the turret I make a decision to shoot or not. I have been guilty of making some bad decisions and have regretted them when things didn't go my way. Each person has their limits on how much is enough to make a good shot and must live with the outcome. I have the luxury of being older and I am no longer mad at the game I am Hunting. So if the shot will be marginal, I just except the fact that It was the animals good fortune and that he will live hunt another day. There is also the times that even though I can make a good shot, I pass just knowing that he was mine and let him walk. Some times I like to take pictures of these easy possible kills and have never regretted the decision. This is not ethics, It is just how much I will enjoy the hunt with or without a kill to make the hunt. each person has his preferred method and if it works for him then that's fine, I just like I like to hit that tuft of hair, or The tick that appears in the right spot, or spot that I am aiming at to know that I did my job, and hit what I was aiming at, not just close. Most of the older guys get to this point at some time and just enjoy the hunt. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
