Default How do you decide when to .......

take your shot? Specifically, is there a conscious decision made that you can hit a specific spot on the deer at the range you are at with "near complete confidence"? Or is it a subconcious decision? In other words, how do you define your range that you willtake your shot? For example, do you have to feelsay 90% confident thatyou will hit within two inches of your pin? Or maybe 50% certain that you will hit within 4 inches? Or is it just a "I can't miss at this range" sort of feeling? I guess for me I will let it fly at an 80% confidence level that I will hit within 3 inches of the tuft of hair that I am aiming at, knowing that the remaining 20% will almost certainly be lethal but maybe require more tracking, etc.
