Also my 308 is not my long range rifle, it's definitely capable enough out to the ranges I would use it in ideal conditions, but not my first choice.
On animals If I'm not 100% comfortable and confident I won't take the shot, this event will definitely put me outside of that comfort zone.......yep I'm making excuses before we even get there

If I miss its probably cause I suck.
