Proven study Young Gun,80% of all big game animals are shot under 200 yds.

I asume by your post more than 1 shot was made,how did you judge distance?
Use a range finder? or just figured they were that far.
I shot mine at about 350 yds,how do I know that cause he was in a feild that had telephone poles runnig through it,I crawled to with in 3 1/2 poles of him(typicaly 100 yds apart),held to of his back and wham!I now have antelope steaks.

I hunt in Montana,only place I have hunted and twice I shot game at over 200 yds and both were antelope.Most of my shots are 150yds or less,but I still practice out to 4.

I can close the distance to less than 250 yds almost every time,it comes with practice.
