    I kept a tally over the last trip’s deer & goats as part of an informal look at whether or not we are making any difference on these particular properties (the feeling is definitely yes, we are).

    With the .308, the last deer shot (by my son) was 120m.

    The trip average for that rifle was 160m.

    The Browning BLR / Aimpoint red-dot also accounted for several animals, average range being ~50m.

    The average range I am shooting animals has significantly reduced in the last couple of years now that I’ve switched to spot & stalk versus longer-range snipes. Four years ago, the average range would have comfortably been >350m. But the number of deer shot was dramatically less!
