ll have shooting rails so yes i have a rest, and hitting a quarter at 200 yards is not that tough.

I am a professional marksman (Law Enforcement sniper) and I can't consistantly hit a quarter at 200 yds. At 200yds shooting at a quarter you have to take into account even the slightest breeze and adjust for windage. The average hunting rifle and loads are not able to shoot a group that tight and consistant even at 100yds.
You may be a good shot, but I seriously doubt you could consistanly hit a quarter even at 100 yds. not to mention 200 yds. We shoot at empty .308 casings at 100yds. and there are still several misses. We are also shooting with bipods, sand bags, match ammo, and very expensive Krueger barrels and extensive trigger work. The average shooter is not nearly as good as you claim to be.

At our range I believe the typical hunter shooting off a rest is an inconsistant 2 to 3" at 100 yds. Facor in buck fever and a moving unpredictable animal and it's a different story. Like I said you are the exception.

i shoot for the heart also, but i've also had bucks run 100+ yards before dropping. when i pulled out the heart (or what was left of it anyways), i was stunned!!
