Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Why the Heck Would You Want a Single Shot?

"One shot only...seriously? What if I miss? There is certainly superior firepower to be had."

If you miss, the animal is either hauling ass, walking away dead on his feet, or hit badly is gong to lead you on a merry chase into the bracken before he lies up somewhere.

Filling the woods with lead after him is a pretty poor response to any of these scenarios. The one shot mindset should vastly reduce the times you will take any marginal shot. A downed animal that gets back up or one traked to his lie down spot can easily taken with a reloaded second round in almost any single shot.

I would not want one in combat, but single shots work fine in hunting.
