Shoot or Don't Shoot

[high horse Hal]

under 100 .....with a good scope picture you should be able to see a 2" window if there is one, more than enough
kneeling, not so good, I'd be prone with a quick rest like a daypack
zeroed @ 200?, maybe 1"high @ 90?
lots to proces quick

at best its 50/50

If you have to debate it, probably best to not

Agree 100%

Don't shoot until you have a clear shot....better to let the deer walk than wound it.

This.

Pass and then debate it over and over in your head is better than shoot and wish you hadn't.

It’s amazing how well the mind will let you shoot, even free standing past 100yards, if it is a clear broadside shot.

Yup. I was shocked how steady my offhand shot was last season. I’m normally all over the place shooting offhand when sighting in or testing new ammo, but I was rock solid when the crosshairs were on the animal.

^^^^ Yep. My deer this year was offhand. At the range I would have been shaky and doubting myself. In the field, I didn't even think about it, just an automatic point and shoot. That's why we practice.
