| With a steady rest, I think I'd be comfortable taking the shot out to about 150. Off hand, I'd have to think about it a little (or find a rest - quick!). Quartering slightly away, the breadbasket is as wide open as it gets. Being at the edge of the trees and likely to break for the cover, a follow up shot is pretty unlikely. But with a steady rest, even with the wind, I think I'd let 'er fly! |

The slight horizon of the bull concerns me, and not knowing what is on the other side has me hesitating...that being said, in the heat of the moment, with a decent rest I let it fly.  |
