Just a wild guess,but I am thinking that Remington would prefer to advertise a gun that can hit both deer.

Welcome to AO, BTW!!
Don't mind the peanut gallery, whiskey hound, we're just having some fun!
To put things in perspective, I would not want to try and tabulate the number of deer that the 4 of us have put in the freezer since we stated hunting, and although we do not talk about it much, all of us has missed an animal at one time or another, so don't let the comments get you down - a couple fo them WERE kinda funny, however . "50% shooters" he he!

Absolutely,just a little light humor.I for one realize that the OP is likely very young,and dosn't realize that most hunters would not be at all pleased if they missed 50% of the animals that they shot at.

Default I'm 50% of 50%

I only miss 50% of the 50% of the deer that I miss!

You can take that 25% to the freezer!

Hey welcome to the forum That's a good caliber and gun you got congrats on the deer and every one misses one every now and then. More practice and you'll be hitting loonies at 100 yards
