[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3297422, member: 4319"] Impossible! Drops 'em every time I hear. Nah to be serious everyone knows what type of guy I'm talking about and it's not a guy doing what Chenry does and sniping the vertebrate behind the skull with a proven rifle. It's the casual rifle hunter taking a shot he has low confidence about in the first place, with a gun he'd be lucky to group 6" with off a bench, and aiming for the general "neck" because he has always heard tell it's all or nothing to aim there. No wounding chance. DRT or miss. I've heard that all my life from guys I know can't shoot paper well much less one of the smallest kill zones on a moving game animal. Same guys that take head shots and end up shooting lower jaws off deer. Some of the worst shooters have the worst shot ideas they have rationalized as being the safe option. If you're shooter hats off to ya and go for it. I'd sure like to see a randomly drawn selection of rifle tag holders shoot a 3 shot group in a couple different positions though. Forum of gun enthusiasts may forget how bad some people and their rigs shoot. Most hunters are not particularly great shots. Most hunters need to aim where they have the highest percentage of killing the animal even if they are off by several inches. [/QUOTE]
