But he bought a really accurate gun, doesnt that make up for everything??
I agree with Elkhunter 100%. If a person states they take head shots only, they most likely havent been in the hunting game that long, or havent seen the results of a poor shot. I have taken several head shots when the conditions are right and the distance warrants it, but a shot into the vitals at the shoulder is a much better bet for a lot of hunting situations.
