Thread: Going ‘old school’

There is no difference in the marksmanship between a steel gong, a sheet of paper and a deer. I'm pretty vague as to why you need the deer. Do people find it that hard to find deer they need to "hunt" like this?

I never got it. I always heard people go "shot a deer at 700m" as a big story and I wonder why you fired at a deer at 700m in the first place. My brother shot a plover with a .22LR at around 400m, but it was a flock of about 30, he held over the top of the flock by about 30m and he hit one at the bottom. That plover had no luck to speak of. Not an achievement, but a good story.
