[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1441908, member: 105102"] Google "autonomic plexus shot on game".....While I don't rifle hunt a bunch, I bring my children out with rifle until they want to Archery hunt. With kids I really like this shot as it seems to combined the effects of a high shoulder shot, with the safety of center of mass of vitals.
