Hunter06, that maybe true in some cases but not 100% gauranteed in all. Like I said my experience suggests otherwise and this is only on deer! If the shot is made, I will not agrue it is highly effective but 1 case where an error or something just happens is enough for me. Unfortunately I have been part of more botched head or neck shot tracks then this, so thus I stand on this side of the fence.Yeah most of them thought they were good shots as well...some are but things happen! A great shot can miss his intended target, but at least with the boiler room he is looking at 8" vs 2" dot, is all I am saying.

I can't control anybody judgement or decisions but my own when it comes to the field, so I am just stated my opinion/belief based on experience. I know I won't change yours or others opinions, so go ahead take the shot and I wish you the best in making it everytime.

BTW, the guys I elk hunt withwon't take a shot on a elk unless the bullet path is got the vitals included, so thankfully it has never been an issue in this regard.
