Hi Bill,

Glad you liked the pun.

It's not that I'm against the side brain shot and I guess the best shot is the one that's offered. But I personally find the frontal shot easier to describe to the client. I simply tell them to ignore all that meat on the front and imagine a broomstick has been shoved in one earhole and out of the other and the idea is to break that broomstick in the middle....... hey, it works for me!

The good thing about the brain shot (whether its frontal or side on) is that if the bullet goes to the right place the animalf falls down immediatly, if not then it doesn't. And you know straight away if there's a problem. There is no in-between. But that's just my personal opinion.

One of the best things about hunting (other than the hunting itself) is the sitting around a campfire and swopping opinions over a drink. This forum is a lot like a giant version of the campfire....... now if we can only work out how to pass a bottle of good whisky through the PC we'll have cracked it!!!
