Goats are animals too and hurt and bleed just like deer and humans. The excited background chatter at very poorly hit animals did nothing for me and is only fuel for the anti gun brigade.
Goats are not target practice,at the very least dont put poor shots on utube PLEASE!

When was the excited background chatter at poorly hit animals? Yes there was a couple of poorly hit animals but they were either dead on their feet or finished off with a follow up shot. Most of the goats we shot were clean one shot kills but the wind was gusty so was hard to judge. Not trying to make excuses for poor shots but they do happen

Towards the end as one was clearly shot too far back.....not on computer now to link it.
The point is that goats deserve a clean kill as much as any other animal and the anti hunters(there is a shit load more of them than us on this planet!) Do not need any more ammunition against us .

Good stuff.
Im not real good at long range myself....I understand the physics very well and the app does most of the maths but nothing but practise will help you with wind estimates.....I dont shoot enough to be any good over the last 4 or 5 years so really limit my shots to where wind is not really a factor.
