[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1964546, member: 33046"] Good enough? Dinner plate accuracy? Honestly, more hunters should take more pride in their shooting. "Good enough" is exactly what gets so many hunters in trouble every year. Hunters are used to shooting "AT" something, instead of a "spot" on the animal and hitting that spot. Every season remarks are made, [I]'I put it right in the boiler room, I know I did and we lost that deer!'[/I] Including, [I]'The shot was perfect and right in the kill zone, but the deer didn't bleed![/I]' The list of comments goes on and on and most of that is from practice that's "good enough". Having harvested well over 400 whitetails, I pretty much know where the heart and kill zone is. First shots count, as does any follow up shot/s, or additional harvests. There are ways to reduce and/or eliminate that first cold bore shot not hitting the POA. Much of that has already been mentioned. [/QUOTE]
