Hi Bb, I think that was the whole point of my OP. It’s certainly not a realistic challenge. I more than likely wanted to show with some sarcasm how ridiculous it is to think you can head shot a ground squirrel from 150 to 200+ yards when hunting and all you have is your gun dope and wind reading skill, first shot, no sighters. Which most closely simulates hunting scenarios that you would realistically find yourself in when shooting in excess of 150 yards. My point is that without a big helping of luck it’s really not probable...
