It’s amazing that what we see with our eyes, in what appears to be very real world testing of first round hits on the vital area, doesn’t apply to us somehow.
My expectation is that if this kind of contest were continued many times over, the hit percentages would not change much.
We are free to hunt and shoot as we prefer but the facts are built with either hits or misses.
There exist many shooters that are competent making shots on game at 600+ yards, depending on conditions and other variables. The participants they chose to showcase in the milk jug challenge do not appear to fit in that category.
The challenge should be adapted to reflect the good judgement of seasoned LR shooters. Truly capable shooters can recognize conditions in which they would not take a shot on a BG animal. If the intent is to approximate BG field shooting, the challenge should offer the option to take the shot at each jug, given the conditions at the time, where a hit is +1 point, and a miss is -5 points. Highest cumulative score wins.
