RE: shot placement
Me I like to play with Shot Placement,thinking in my mind where that Bullet or Arrow is going.Some shots people say they wouldn't take but they have worked for me.
I was walking to the House one time,had a Buck running towards me flat out.I was using a Sidelock Muzzleloader,Patch and Ball.I didn't have time to think,all I did think was aim Low,I shot him 10 yards,he piled up at my feet.The ball went just to the side of the Shoulder Blade,out the Ham on the other side.
Broad Side,Heart,Lung is the best.
