The problem and why I went away from it is at 200-225 you can be 4-5 inches high. I shot at a Barbary sheep, it was right at 200, quick shot but a rock solid rest, I had a upward angle and with my 3.5 high at a hundred I sent one right over a 30+ in rams back never to be seen again. I found in a quick shot we all tend to hold center heart/ lungs. I replayed the shot later and found at that distance plus angle I was shooting 5.5 inches high which was just enough to cause the miss. That’s one reason I switched to what I do today. It really doesn’t matter your chosen zero distance as long as you can remember what you need to do in the quick shots. [/QUOTE]
