Barbour Creek student take antelope @ 1507 yards

But he didn't. Some can speculate if it was luck or skilled shooting. We will never know for sure. I am just happy for the guy getting his Lope. Some folks just can't accept it.

Mathematically, it was low probability, he took a chance and was successful.

Op needs to answer the question,a subsonic hit on a coyote at 105 yards drt,under the snout,where under .Read my question valid and to the point.

The OP of the thread never discusses anything about Coyotes. Stay on the tracks and not off the rails.

9:58 today read his post, did he mention killing a coyote in it?And i'm on track ,read his post.This is a coyote, the black thing at 12 o'clock is a snout, where did he hit it below the snout that killed it.Not a hard question unless it's BS! With a 22 subsonic at 105 yards.

That's not the OP of the thread. You and whoever your referring to should start a different thread about shooting Coyotes with subsonic loads. There's only 1 OP of a thread!

Where was he hit under the snout and was drt?a very valid question that needs answering,something smells here,BS maybe I surely hope not.

Just under the muzzle high throat patch just under the totality of the muzzle. Looking right at me. Didn't have a range finder or anything so I just aimed 6 inches above his forehead and let her rip. It was early September squirrel season so his coat was really thin. I was very surprised myself. At 78 ft-pounds it shouldn't work.

 

[Doghunter23]

But my point being if 78 ft pounds can prove fatal than I would think 450 ft-pounds is more than possible to kill a prong horn.

On that shot he's 100%, no doubt pushing it but who cares, at those ranges your dead nuts or complete miss.
Mathematically we shouldn't be able to shoot 5 shot groups sub inch at 1000 yards but it happens when it's right.

Not to mention nobody here except 1 person knows the experience of his 2 guides who both took James class. They're out there all the time with clients and know the land, terrain, and apparently how to call the wind. It was a great shot with a good touch of luck added to it. Congrats to him.

I can't speak for others, but for me it's just the fact that it's simply not believable when people start spouting that someone with training can do this every time. It is a low percentage shot that this guy would miss a lot of the time for all the mathematical reasons articulated a couple posts above.

But, he made it!
