The next doe was same way same place but I wanted to see-try something held right on the deer fired an bullet was in the now at the feet so that is how far it drops. Now 98.5% of hunters the long shots are 100 to 200 yards they don't need no more . Show are great on these shots but thier shows So men make great shots not cripple shots on game Thanks


Speak for yourself. But I do agree, most folks don't have business at 200 yards. Of course 400 is gravy easy for those that extend the effort.

Thats the bad part though, most folks are too lazy to extend the effort required.
