So many here are so full of themselves by making stupid remarks like I know my equipment and myself learned that years ago, I for one learn more and more every time I head for the hills. And when I quit learning I will be dead... or the choice one, that I might be lacking in shooting skills is again laughable.................
Not to worry Finn! Anybody that comes on a site with BS about getting more range practice when another says not to take head shots is full of baloney. It's just like you stated when you have no idea when the head will move and the bullet will do exactly as you stated. I just saw a photo of a cow elk a guy put up on another website a couple days ago and that cow's lower jaw was dangling down from a shot a guy took while he was watching from a distance. The cow ran off with the herd and will die a miserable death that the guy should suffer instead of her for doing that garbage! Head shots are unethical and I don't care if RR or anyone else can put every shot in one hole on the range!!! Then to hear him bragging about a 600+ yard head shot on another thread whether it was at a wounded animal or not is baloney when a body shot could be taken at a much bigger vital area. Cripes, the rifles I use on my hunts will all shoot one hole groups on the range if I do my part and I would never think of shooting at the head of an animal with them when it can move at any time. A pretty good shot I am, but I'm no clairvoyant and neither is any one else on this site to know when an animal might move its head and cause just what happened to that cow! People that try that garbage should have their license revoked and their gun stuck up where the sun don't shine!
