DRT ... I think the value varies with the terrain you hunt. It might not matter to a flat-land whitetail hunter unless they're hunting close to the boundary of property they don't have permission to enter. For a sheep or goat hunter, even one good lunge might be off a 1000 foot drop leading to an unrecoverable animal.
Take the shot you need to make under the conditions, and if you don't have the skills to make that shot, don't shoot.
