    Subs work great if you understand their limitations
    Set your max distance and don’t compromise
    Know your trajectory to your max distance
    Wait for the ideal shot to present

    My max is 30m and the shot is rising from the muzzle to there so I have to aim an inch high to 23ish m

    I either go bottom of the ear hole or forehead.

    If you don’t get your criteria let the animal walk away and stalk in again, work the wind and predict where it will be and get a rest ready if possible (I like leaning against trees) if you miss it’s going to be real bad so don’t miss





    I near fucked this one up when I rushed the first head shot as I could see it was looking at me and about to break, if you miss the brain then the will run and it did, I followed it with a heart shot as it ran which was very ineffective. Breaking its spine with the next stopped it running

    Recovered this out of the obliterated vertebrate all others exited

    This is the first one iv had take a step and it was all due to my poor first shot.

    It was all subx but I notice no difference using robs 151s they both work great put in the right spot. Know where the brain is and just scramble it If you can’t just stalk closer
