As I've gotten older, I am surprised on how many heart shots I end up making on a deer each year.
Figure getting older, I'd be a lousier shot.... but maybe experience does count for something.
As I've aged, I can actually get a shot off quicker. Could be the time I spend at the range and also the time and number of ground squirrels I waste about each spring... get something between 5000 to 8000 rounds at them on a summer when I have the time to over to K Falls to shoot them.
Come fall deer season, a deer is a pretty big looking target, even if one the move...
guess varmint shooting in large numbers on small targets has helped me get much more proficient, even if I am getting older and theoretically slower in moving...
