MY take: Kid shot roughly a 2 foot, 3 shot group. Missed one, gut shot 2, killed 3.
Is it then ethical if, IN A PRACTICAL SITUATION ON GAME, NOT ON PRACTICE TARGETS, to take a 100 yard shot on a deer, if the best one can do with the rifle/shooter/extraneous factors, is a 2 foot group at 100 yards with 3 shots? ("Team" or not!)
If it is not, then I suggest one should limit oneself to a 25 yard shot on a moose size target, in said practical (not practice) situations.
How did they determine the range? 2,000 yard range finder?
I've looked at the video several times but saw only two shots, not three.
Based on the father's description, though, it does appear it was about a 2 foot "group". Lots of opportunity for things to go wrong with a "group" that size. Primary consideration was to make the video. Concern that the elk might be wounded and lost appeared to be nil.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
