I have been hunting with my dad for many years and i have seen him take several deer through the years, but when i tell my friends about the shots he makes they don't believe me. The reason being that all his deer accept for 2 have been taken
between 350 and 450 yards. Almost all of them where taken when the deer was on a dead run. All of them where shot in the neck and they all dropped dead in thier tracks. On top of this he has always shot freehanded. So my question is, is it really that far and that amazing of a shot using his trusty old 243 rifle with a 9 power scope and 100 grain shells. I only wish i was as good of shot as he is.

Say what? 350 to 450yd at a running shot on deer and done it many times?

I can easily understand why no onebelieves you.

I agree 100%!!

Not ment to be mean, crule, or rude.....but are you sure you know how to acurately judge yardage?
Also not to be mean, but how many shots does he take at each deer???
Sorry not trying to be mean by any standards, but with the info given, it does make it very hard to believe.

I could belive it if you said the deerwere standing there, or that he make an unbeliveable luck shot once,but 350-450 yards on a running deer offten,is somewhat unbeliveable.

I have only seen him miss one time, but he made up for it with a quick second shot.
By the way i have a range finder 350 to 450 yards for sure.

Adios! Nuff said!
