I guess if you're familiar with your rifle and shoot it enough. I have several rifles so I don't want to be guessing. I'd rather use a more precise method.
I know it can be accurate because as a younger lad I would pick off soda and soup cans at 200 yards with my .22 LR in the stripping pits. It would take me a couple shots but once I got the range and the hold down I could send those cans flying around the pit. Any self respecting animal won't wait around for someone to send a round or two in his direction to get the right range.
