Can’t say I’m an old timer, only 60,but shot my first deer with .22lr as a 15 year old. Shot a few more over the years with .22, a few with sub-sonics, but never tried with shorts. Don’t think I’d try either unless it was freaking close. Haven’t lost a deer with .22lr, have with .303. Got complacent I guess.
