Lol that reminds me of the 2nd one I shot yesterday, thinking he was safe just like you describe till I shot him w/ the beeman... Then he was flying in circles like a hovercraft till he hit the ground. He didn't have the luxury of hauling after the fall this time :^) Of course there was a couple that didn't have a (couple) rear organs after being shot. That definately helps the cleaning process :^)

Oooh, always look at what's beyond your target in case you miss.

I use the 12 degree rule on all sides of a target. Then nobody or no property can get hurt/damaged. I like having wood (tree) backstops too.. :^) the bark is soft enough to absord a pellet or 22 bullet & its surely not going thru a tree.
