[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5520216, member: 17"] Without question, long-range shooting is not only a skill, but something that has to be practiced and practiced and practiced. But I also think many underestimate the skill required to make close-range shots on moving deer through thick brush. There is no practice for that. You've either got the skill or you don't. And I've seen FAR more close-range brush misses than long-range-across-an-open-field-misses. Talking to those who miss close shots,[B] I honestly get the impression that at very short-range hunters forget to aim at a spot[/B]. Learning to keep one eye on a moving deer while searching ahead for a gap is really tough to do. And then making a good hit on a deer moving through a 16-inch gap in brush is not easy. [/QUOTE]
