Don,t get discouraged with some of these threads. Just,that some people have a hard time telling distances.The average shot around the u.s. is around 75yds. In states were long distance shooting is the norm a shot at those distances can be the average.This is true for i lived in such places. On the run,it takes a lot of practice.to hit a deer,but once you get use to shooting like that,one can say it like a video game. Anything hit in the neck will drop daead thats for sure,and to do it twice,Is freaky but can be done. A lot of people will ? you if you even talk about yardage like that,for they haven,t done it,nor seen deer that far away in there experiences. A bad stigma some have is well,if i haven,t done it,seen it,its no possible,well they are wrong!! Its all possible,and it s great that you look up to your dad like that and don,t stop enjoying hunting with him as long as you can!!! vangunsmith
