I'm not at all detracting from the importance of shot placement charts, but if I could make a suggestion: The issue I have with charts is that they aren't particularly helpful for angles that aren't perpendicular (which is ideal). So, I learnt to visualize a ball the size of a rugby ball in the middle of the front half of the ribcage and to aim to hit that. It's served me quite well, having only had one botched kill (which was due to jerking the trigger). That rugby ball allows me to compensate for almost any angle and has helped me pull of some pretty undesirable shots when following up on wounded game. Any shot on a wounded animal is justified, for me. The sooner the animal is out of pain, the better, but it's important to be able to take full advantage of any opportunity he/she gives you.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
