Thread: rule of 3

works at most ranges if you are a chest shooting/hilar area type of person.....the whole 8" kill zone thing goes over head of some folk,the best way Ive heard it describes is a bit like this...

the vital kill zone of a deer is a bit bigger than 8" round...think soccer ball
you have an imaginary drain pipe between yourself and the deers vitals...that pipe is 8 1/2" in diameter.........
the absolute most range you can shoot a deer through that pipe is the range you can sight rifle in so projectile doesnt hit the top of pipe along the way.....
now thinking along those lines look back at the chart....
