And don't forget that at 300yds you have to take very much into consideration the wind. even a slight wind can blow a bullet off course 10-15 inches or more and if you are shooting anything but a magnum big bore you have a bullet drop of even more than that to think about. Put this all together with the fact that you just had to stalk this animal and you are out of breath because of the two big hills you had to go over and have no real rest to use and have only seconds to take the shot............or you can be in your stand nice and calm in trees to break the wind, with shooting lanes alread picked out and have a deer walk right under you and into one of your lanes right by one of your yardage markers you put down for distance.

Two sides to every coin.
