Nitrox,

If I took my trusty Husqy 30-06 for PG, then hitting a standing jackal at 150 yards offhand would not be a problem. But if I miss, that's ok too because I am there for a challenging hunt. If the shots and stalks are too easy, I would feel a bit bad about it. Kind of like shooting prarie dogs at 100 yards. It's not fair until they are over 200 yards, and no bipods allowed.

As for buff at 20 yards from sticks, guys will do it.
