the target which is a deer, decides to walk off a few hundred feet to his right before stopping again? Suppose its to the right and
also down hill at the same time? Whats that do to the shooters present prone position? And the same thing holds true for the righty
at that location and frankly every location. If the first shot is a poor hit and the animal takes off running, a belly shooter simply cannot
stay on that animal in that type terrain. First off the limited field of the scope alone would assure that. And a spotter, if he even has one, laying in the tall cotton beside him, and looking thru the same type scope would also have lost the animal. Its a recipe for total disaster, and those who don't think so, think that way because theve never done it to have experienced it. Especially in that type of terrain, and that's just one example of the possibilities.
