smokepole, I probably worded it incorrectly. What I’m trying to say is.....assume the animal “may” move unexpectedly, at any time. “Not” they “will” move! I think that this should apply to any shot. IMO, the problem with “proper bullet placement” on an animal “unexpectedly” moving .... is increased exponentially with extended distances! I hope this clarifies my point......at least I understand what I’m trying to say! smile memtb
