[QUOTE=".30 CAL, post: 460359, member: 12385"] Yeah had my buddy not been there to witness it he would have never believed me either. I also shot an Oryx in the head just under 300 yards. So here's the reality check I missed my first shot at the mule deer it was high and connected with the second, and I missed an Oryx at 120 yards about 3 hours before I killed the other one. Both head shots were within 5 min of the end of legal shooting hours on the last day of the hunts (it's easier to make em count when the pressure is on kinda like shooting a single shot). I had to call the guys at the gate for the Oryx hunt to let them know I was on my way so they wouldn't send out the search party. I practice shooting clay pigeons which are almost 4 1/4 inches in diameter so I figure at whatever range I can consistently hit those I can head shoot any big game animal. Funny thing about the sea duck I was at the rifle range one day shooting my pistol at 7 yards and an elderly man asked why I wasn't streching the legs of my fancy pistol. He then took out his snub nose revolver and started shooting 6 inch steel gongs at 200. And so my lessons in Long Range Shooting began. 300 is a long poke for a pistol good shot. [/QUOTE]
