.....assuming the animal “will not” move is rather unrealistic! memtb
It's the only way one can take a shot.
I respectfully disagree! As a somewhat extreme example.....I can except 2/10 of a second animal movement at a hundred yards. However, at lets say, with a 700 yard shot....the time will be much closer to a full second of movement. The animal, already a more difficult target at range, will move considerably more with that one second of movement, than one given 2/10 of a second movement @100 yards. We should make our shots assuming the animal will move.....it’s our decision as to how much risk and movement we are willing to except! memtb
You ssume they will move and others of us will assume we will get the shot INTO the vitals before the game moves.
I guess that I’ve made this too complicated! I try to plan for a worst case scenario! memtb
