Just curious. Why a head shot? It is a very small target... I took a doe today that walk literally 10 yds rom my blind and I shot just behind the shoulder.If I tried a head shot I would have to compensate for the 2 inches above plane that my scope sits. I would never remember to do that.

You need to put a "yet" at the end of that sentence. Because eventually you will blow a shot. What are you going to do then when one runs off with the jaw hanging? All it takes is a fly landing on a deer's nose causing it to toss it's head when you squeeze. That's why all very knowledgeable hunters don't take headshots. But hey what do I know? I just shot deer #90 on Sat.
