This is where the difference between theory and reality collide. Anyone that has tried to mil range animals would know how abysmal the results are.



So standard on a deer is 18" back to brisket right? What happens when the deer really is 17in or 16in or 19 inches? What happens when the deer is 16.5 inches from back to brisket and what you thought was .8 mil is really .88?

Interestingly went to NE a couple years ago and I killed a Mule deer and a WT, and my buddy's wife killed a WT. All bucks and all from the same NF. The Muley I shot was right at 18.5in back to brisket, the Whitetail she shot was under 17in, and the WT I shot was almost 20 inches. If you believe that you can mil range live targets and get acceptable results.....
