    Aiming at the brisket is too low. With archery frontal shots you need to aiming slightly above where the neck comes out of the chest. Look a deer side on and draw a horizontal line that goes through...

    Shot a chamois front on, ( 308, 165grn Lapua) at about 15 yards. Chamois merely hunched up, turned right and started to trot off. A second shot (bless the speed of a lever action!) sideways...

    Cool. Having Bea trail a long lead of thin rope that you can stand on or grab might help with the ranging issue. Have a command that goes with the tug like "steady". I used "steady" and clicked my...
