RE: Small bores for big game
I do agree that 22 are not the best for deer but with good bullets (barnes X) and a properly placed shot (chest) They will go down .. Any animal needs a heart and lungs to live. My daughter is small and reciol is hard on her. If I sit with her and help her with proper shots she will be fine... I would rather teach her to pick the good shots and use a 22 then have her not hunt at all .. It will be on our land where there are no other people so " rush shots are not needed .. Bill
