Bob and everyone else
Thanks for the advice. In retrospect I did a lot of things wrong with my friend, and this whole process became a huge learning experience for me. NEVER take things for granted. Like when I stopped the deer in a gap for her she could only see the hind quarter. Well I whispered in her ear to move over two feet so there was an open lane. An experienced hunter would've just done it. Of course this is something we should have practiced before hand. We spent about half an hour at the range shooting 100 yards off a bench. We should have worked on aquiring the target more and shooting out to 200. Again my mistake. Finally she was using my roommates gun which is a 50 year old 6mm with a 1X scope. Its a great deer gun, but I just wonder if she would've had an easier time with my 30-06 and Leupold 4X10 scope that has a 50mm objective. Again, my call to use the 6mm because it didn't kick as hard.
