Shot to kill ratio

[TrumpkinTheDwarf]

I can't say I've ever kept track. I know there were some rodeos in my high school, and even college days. Once I figured out I was jerking the trigger and started dry fire drills things got a lot better. I'd love to have a season of 2 shot shells per duck some day.

Imma line up 2 pronghorn does, and take them with one shot, just so I can come back here and post a 0.5

You won't!

This has worked well for me on several hungarian partridges and grouse but never big game!

As I remember the last 10:
Pig- 1 shot
Deer-3 shots
Pig-2 shots
Pig- 2 shots
Racoon-1 shot
Pig-1 shot
Pig-1 shot
Cottontail-1 shot (does that count?)
Cottontail-1shot
Pig-1 shot

I also shot at a coyote 7 times and missed all 7 times. You had to be there. Long story. Do I have to count those 7 in my average?

Lol, me as well on birds, don't think I could actually try it on anything requiring a bullet

Since 2009.


29 deer shot.
28 recovered.
31 rounds fired.

the deer I didn’t recover I shot at twice, hitting it at least once. Searched for hours that night for around four hours and the same the next morning. Still bugs me to this day.
Last year I had to shoot at a doe twice because I had a stump in my line of fire for the first shot.
My very first deer many years ago I shot twice. Making the total 30 deer, 29 recoveries and 33 shots.

My hog and bird hunting ratios aren’t very stellar.

I get close, it’s easy to make good shots that way. I’ve only shot two or three deer past 100yds.

Starting out I missed more shots under 100 yards than I did over 200... I think I was more concerned about recoil and looking at the animal than focusing on the crosshairs. Hard lessons to learn but lessons learned none the less.
