JimH Campfire Regular J Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 1,703 S.E.Indiana	Originally Posted by RockyRaab I did, too. Deliberately, because they are such cliches that they can stand unspoken. The fact remains that many shooters are far too much perfectionists. The lung area of a deer/antelope is about a 12" target. One does not need a one-hole rifle to hit a 12" target - those unspoken phrases included. We tend to ask "what group do I need at so-and-so range?" when the question that ought to be asked is "What is the longest range I can shoot with a rifle that groups x?" I am often derided for the suggestion that half a lung decides that - but it is the right answer. For a 12" lung, the range at which your rifle shoots a 6" group is your maximum shooting range for that species of animal. It's that simple. It's that simple only if you hold perfectly dead center of that 12" lung.. what if you wiggle a little and the crosshairs are 2" right of center? If your antelope is facing left he could have a hole in the guts.
