The best to date was during a red deer cull last year. Using a Savage Tac Elite in 308W and a 10x42 scope I was standing on the back of a team members ute, shooting offhand at a group of deer behind us.

The angle was slightly downhill and along a row of saplings. The group had four animals in it and all were not too phased by the spotlight. I estimated the range at 300M and aimed for the base of the neck on the first doe. Squeezed off the shot and heard the reassuring sound of a solid hit. Reloaded and aimed at the next doe, same result, second deer dropped on the spot. Gambled on a third and scored another hit, though this time the animal didn't drop on the spot but stumbled forward into the next row and out of sight.

Had one of the team members set the position on his GPS and then headed off to the spot where the deer were. Found the first two easily enough, exactly where they fell. The third was in the second row over from where it was hit.

The range of the first two was 357Metres. The third was hit at roughly the same distance as the others. The first two were clean neck shots whereas the third was hit back in the shoulder.

The rifle was sighted for point of aim at 300Metres for Combined Service Rifle sniper class competition so I knew it would be on the mark at that range.

I've missed a lot closer shots which a shooter should never ever miss, but those three shots will remain crystal clear in my mind till the day I die. The stuff that memories are made of!!
