Agree that you should ideally be one shot one kill--but it doesn't always turn out that way--there's something to be said for quick follow-up too. That's a great 243 shot--something I would never even contemplate doing (I would with my 300 win mag though).Quote:
I already said on another thread that many hunters (usually bolt-gun) that are used to the "one-shot--one kill" frame of mind bolster this argument.
For the record the is nothing wrong with the "one shot one kill" mentality. We should all be going for humane shots/kills when hunting.
Take this shot for example:

That was a really good shot and clean kill. But You can hear the wind. At that range a very minor error can make a huge difference in where the Elk is hit.
The real problem with the argument is that is assumes that there is only one target and that every hunt happens perfectly. Animals turn as the last moment when you break the shot, gusty wind etc...
