Might be handy to mount a green lazer pointer on your back up rifle and blaze the actual spot you want him/her to hit. I have tried exactly that and it seems to work. Am assuming you will back your clients up so you can quickly finish the inevitable gut shot/ leg shot animal, so if you are already on it with a lazer anyway, lights out Bambi or Piggy Sue or Rossi. (he is a GOAT isn't he?)

Its one of those hard calls

To take your time and get a good rest and make a relaxed shot at further distance is much easier and clients will shot better then stalking in and having to rush a shot.
Its one of them damned if you do damned if you don't situations sometimes.
