What is a perfect shot oppurtunity? Acouple hundred yards broadside, animal standing still, shooting from the prone position with calm breathing? Ideally thats what everyone should wait for but alot of times you dont have the luxury of getting that shot. Like I said earilier the hunter has to have common sence and know there limitations as a shooter and the gun. If we always waited for the perfect shot, the gun writers couldnt write about practicing with your weapon anylonger. As all shots would be chip shots. I would expect a vast amount of people who have hunted atleast a fair bit (not all people) have taken a less than perfect shot at some point. ie, quarting, head on, walking, running, long range, a shooting position other than prone, etc etc.
