Hitting what you aimed at part 4

[RTH1800]

We hunted over weekend. 10 shots fired. 20 yards to 78 yards. 10 headshots.

These two were 60 yards shot about 5 seconds apart from exactly the same spot on the limb. Fell almost touching.

Did we hit what we aimed at?

Note the 10 shot mag in the bottom photo. Very handy when you are in a spot with a lot of squirrels.

Okay RT.....you started it.

So tell me, if you had been shooting groups, would you have hit those squirrels?
You know, all 5 shots at the same aimpoint....or is this a situation where one dot one shot applies? Hmmmmm?

In my experience, you only get one shot per aimpoint, because them squirrels don't sit still for the next, eh?

What's really annoying, is I don't get a chance to hunt until next month, so I'm officially jealous.

Of course all are like the dot shots. From odd positions. Offhand. Using tree to rest and mostly over my knees.
Shooting tiny groups gives me confidence to try these shots.
