Cableguy, I agree. The hunt is not the time that you should be trying a distance you've never shot at a range. My gun is sighted in at 200 and I group within 5 inches at that distance from a free hold braced. Since I also hunt moose, that distance is in my comfort zone for those brutes, because the target is three to four times the size of deer. But, in keeping with my question, I know that I can hit that 200 yd target at the range with no distractions, but in the field? I have yet to harvest a deer, so I don't know what is really going to happen, but, with my first moose I was so excited I missed my first 2 shots at 100 yds because I was shaking so bad. Deer might put me over the deep end. Especially if it is my buddy I saw last year.
