My best shot, or at least the one made feel prouder was some years ago in an event, i don't remember the rules but was something like get a heart shot in a white tail without touch any other organ, from like 60 mts with a bow, and i did it with the PP, the deer was small, but i felt soo good after that shot. From recent shots the one i can feel proud is my longest distance shot, 412 mts on a Moose with rifle, not near the top one but still a great shoot for a casual in long distance shooting like me :D

Back when it was ethical, I used to use the 357 for ducks from a tripod. They would circle around you at eye level. My best/luckiest shot was 125.5 meters.

My best shot ever was during the CB Six Shooter competition, the goal was to drop pheasant with bow which i simply couldn't do from close range so i decided to let them fly some distance.
I used the Parker Python to take him down after only 3-4 tries.
Distance was 84 meters, and since it was heavy raining at Hirschfelden i actually lost the bird until i saw the tail tumbling to the ground. The sight was so awesome I believe i will remember that game moment as long as i live.

shooting a duck out of a treestand with the purpose of putting it in a blind with a bow like basket ball. some shots are random ones. like a friend who said you cant use bows for ducks. as you may scare them.i said why will i scare them if i kill it dead. ducks flying away and i shoot it first arrow at 85m out sky. :lol:

also abslayer on here when a goose was flying away and he said ill get a rifle now its too far in the sky and i just snapped out the bow and ripped it down :lol: his response still makes me laugh. also on video :D

I can't really think of any really good ones. Most were luck like with pheasants flying by and hitting them with a snap shot with a longbow or something.
I guess I hit a wolf in the lungs at about 85m with the heavy recurve, but again that was mostly luck.

Did you know .357 is from some time ago again ethical for Goose and Turkey?

While hunting bison in Whiterime just today. I spent 10 bullets on 3 bison, but I never did managed to track down the last one I wounded. When I finally thought I had tracked it down, being completely out of ethical ammo I had to make the mercy shot with whatever weapon I had available.

It was the wrong, completely unharmed bison.

It dropped on the spot.

From a single .17 HV round.
