Its not a bad shot if , you blow his spine out with a big bore rifle. People that CAN make a tuff shot will take the shot where people who can should NOT take this shot. I fell it all comes down to shooting skill and rifle size. That is why I compete and shoot 6 to 7 thousand shots a year. Im NOT going to miss , so i feel good taking a shot like this. but if you dont, then dont take the shot!
