A standard size golf ball fits nicely where a Roe Deer's brain lives, not the easiest of targets.

That was a good shot with a golf ball, did you use a 9 iron or a wood?
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? ....... He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

While sat out yesterday evening waiting for a vixen to come to the cubs a roe doe came out and laid down shortly followed by a buck and the another pair.
While the light was ok and before the other deer showed up I had a play with my cameras.
They were lasered at 164 yrds.
The scope on my 22250 is a new 3-12x56 zeiss varipoint as most would agree the top of the ladder for a hunting scope. It is fitted with a 60 illuminated reticule.
The scope was wound up to x12 and the still camera to telephoto so it focused on the image.
You make up your own minds.
The video was hard to hold the camera and rifle on target but you can see how unpredicatble the deers head is and she is at rest.
This is not aimed at anyone it is just to show those who are looking in at our sport why head shots are not recomended or for the faint hearted.
No matter what tackle you have skill or otherwise you cannot take into account all the variables.
you have a 4" target use it. :thumbs:

Throw in a brisk stalk to even reach a realistic shootable distance plus some windage and a successful strike on a golf ball size target becomes even less likely.
