About a year ago in 2007 I asked you guys to tell me how far away your critter was when you pulled the trigger. The average shot for those that responded was about 175 yards. My caribou was about 100 yards a way in 2008 and fell to a broad side lung shot from my .338 Win. Mag. and a 250 grain Barnes X bullet. It traveled about 10 yards after the shot. My scope was set on 6 power and the caribou was standing still. I think if we do this for 5 years we should have a pretty good group of stats to use in our never ending debates about shot distance, calibers, bullets and scope power. I am not smart enough to set up a survey and track the stats for all to see on the forum so if one of the monitors is then I welcome your help. It may provide some real life info on the average distance our Alaskan critters are when the first shot is fired, the caliber and bullet used and the results. It could be listed some thing like this.
Spieces - Bull caribou
Distance - 100 yards
Scope - set on 6 power
Shot- 1 broad side lung shot
Caliber - .338 Win. Mag.
Bullet - 250 gr. Barnes X
Results- went about 10 yards
So if one of you computer savy guys/gals could set this up I believe it could provide some useful information to those that visit this forum. We could also send the results to the manufactuers when they come out with a new product and say, what were you thinking!
