That's a rough deal of it mate. If it's your collar bone giving you grief try to avoid shooting prone (lying down). You want be sitting and standing. That way the butt of the rifle isn't sitting...

I use springer air rifles, the hold technique is to let the front grip slide, artillery hold. Got a forwards & backwards recoil that buggers up accuracy. Done this a few times with the 308, large...

I'm glad lots on here don't seem to mind shooting hinds or the first deer they see. If I did that I don't think I'd have 90% of my antlers I have hanging up at home! When I first started hunting I...

I think the real question is will a 308 actually kill a hind? We should be told.

In areas I hunt often enough to know or observe that numbers are high I shot a hind every time to try do my bit for population control. Usually i shoot them last day and shoot the one with the...

I shoot hinds any time except when they have fawns at foot. Happy as to shoot pregnant hinds as they are pregnant 236 days a year and you know the fawn dies quickly.

Shoot em in fawn....maybe refrain from shooting them when they have young dependant on the teat instead. A hind is basicly either feeding young or pregnant for the entire year.....better to shoot...

They were only one size action like a Zastava weren't they? Just a spacer for 308s etc rather than an action made for the shorter cartridge?
