She was quartering onto me and only part of her shoulder, plus her neck and head were visible behind a bit of a tree. There was a bit of wind too, so if it had missed her high neck where I aimed the bullet would have drifted into the lower neck/front of shoulder. There a bit a bit of risk, but I was fairly confident. The most difficult part was finding a decent rest on the steep spur. All of the scrub was a bit spindly and weak. In the end I took my my jacket and top off and used them as a rest,but it was still a bit awkward.

Its not so difficult if you have confidence in your rifle, and once you have done it a few hundred times
