That C6 I guess is what so many refer to as the high shoulder shot. It is absolutely deadly no doubt. Lots of very respected(deservedly so) guys on here shoot there. But please agree with me that it doesnt provide the most margin of error. Just a couple inches lower and couple inches to the body provides much more margin for error and I think its almost as deadly. Bobo, and others, tell me what your maximum range is on a Trophy WT buck and tell me you would still shoot that C6. If im shooting a Trophy buck at my maximum distance Im not shooting C6 or anything above that D line. BTW, I love this grid for talking about this.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

If I am shooting my .50BMG, I aim C, -2 and snuff the breath right out of them....
No I don't worry about a back stop and no I don't care how far the bullet will travel because I only them from my executive tower inside 100 yards so the bullet is always on a severe downhill

If im shooting a Trophy buck at my maximum distance Im not shooting C6 or anything above that D line. BTW, I love this grid for talking about this. I don’t have a set distance. Totally environment dependent. My gun is sighted dead on at 250, and I kill something every year at that distance it seems. This year mule deer and whitetail. I’ve passed on deer at 400 because of wind and my rest and I’ve killed deer and Aoudad at 400. Regardless of distance on a broadside shot thats my hold point, less wind. Overall perfect day 400 pretty much my max, assuming I can't get any closer or don't have another day to get closer etc. Not to many places I can't get closer though Honestly I’ve only killed two game animals in last 10 years that where not shot with a spinal interruption. WT buck this year at 75 yards(behind shoulder, only shot I had), and pronghorn a few years ago at 400yard(technically that one went down finally with high shoulder at 200, it was dead goat walking but was headed to fence line) . I don't think twice about a broadside shot with it. I’ve killed elk, mule deer, Aoudad, axis, Whitetails etc . I’ll take a chest shot also but normally keep those under 150. That’s normally me calling something in so I’m on a tripod, and normally only shot I have.

Im a C7 guy, if you hit your mark exactly, not a lot of wasted meat. If you wander to the right, they crumple. If you wander to the left, they die shortly from a double lung. Up, they are paralyzed from spine shot, down and you still get lungs, maybe heart and possibly blow out some lower shoulder depending on how they are standing.

C7, specifically that one hair I see inside the top of that location. I like C7, even at long distance. Watch some shots on gel and then think about what gets messed up when a wound channel is created here. The wound channel is a lot more than the size of entry and exit. On gel it's 3" Ø or more. This is where I have the best chance to shut down CNS, and circulatory system at the same time. High or low, you get one to the other. The Hornady, 165 gr. .308 SST bullet placed here puts them down right there. If you've ever stomped on a water hose and seen what happens, imagine this with 1000x into the major arteries. I like the grid, never seen it before.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

E7 Vertical crosshair on back of front leg, 1/4-1/3 up. Adjust aim point for quartering and elevation. I usually hunt really close, last year’s buck under 10 yards so I get good placement.
