Preferred Shot Placement

We all have different style and preferences when it comes to shot placements. The choice of a certain shot placement may be based on whether trophy hunting, hunting for meat or culling but also animal hunted, positioning of animal, caliber or ammunition used, scope mounted or not, distances, clearance and various other factors...

I know hunters who prefer to shoot on the shoulder in order to break bones, some to aim more for the vitals just behind the...

just curious about a tactic:

If you blow the stalk and the animal is say, running at 35-50 yards, is there a consideration of taking the running shot?

I had two very lightweight single shots made with tang safeties to mimic the overall feel of a light English shotgun. I just wonder if the scope is at 1x or 2x does anyone find it ethical or practical to take shots on running game at reasonably close paces?

This is in the context of fleeing plains game, not challenging or threatening...

Hi

Is there a marked photo for hunting Blesbok? I only ask because I am setting up the great pictures here for my kids to practice dry firing at them and the only one I could not find was Blesbok. If not no worries because I printed a picture off the web and I can just put a white mark on it. Thanks

As some of you might have seen from my introduction thread, I'm new to the bow hunting game. Gone are the days I could line up my cross hairs behind the ear of a trophy reedbuck or impala and squeeze the trigger to see the animal disappear from my sight into a heap hidden from view by long veld grass.

With this in mind, it has been a time of personal growth and learning that one so often finds themselves in with this game. I've taken to learning as much as I can about shot placement and...

Why in the world, when you hit to your game right in the heart it falls on its hind-quarters first?

Between the shoulder blade and the spine, usally makes them crumble on the spot. Saves on blood tracking.

What do you think?

I have a question and I am sure there will be a million opinions for the answer, however it has been on my mind and would appreciate the feedback.
Having recently shot some Black Wildebeest for a client, I was told the shoulder shots I took damaged quite a bit of the meat.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the damage to the meat? I use 30.06 180 gr PMP rounds. I was thinking head shots but I believe that ensuring the animal is killed quickly and cleanly is more important than saving...

Hello Everyone,

I put together a PG shot placement guide from the photos on the forum for my families upcomming safari and I thought I would share it with everyone.

I hope it helps.

I am not an expert, not a trained sniper. Wind is my nemesis when it comes to shooting as I am clueless on how to properly address it in longer range shots.

Apparently there are plenty who can join me in being clueless and some who are both clueless AND unethical. Noted in this thread.

I have not put in the effort to research wind drift properly and my answer is to just keep getting closer until the...
