Being very cynical,I find some of the shows that specialize in extreme range big game shooting to be somewhat questionable.These 1 shot kills at ranges approaching 1000 yards where the animal drops in its tracks are incongruous to what most hunters experience when using a typical,behind the shoulder lung shot.Even Remington's new Hypersonic rifle ammo commercials are misleading,showing a number of animals almost twisted backwards from the impact as they slam to the ground.I'm sure it happens,but the way it's portrayed makes it seem like it's an "every shot" occurance.
Maybe it's just creative CGI that's used to make the shot and bullet performance seem like it's something far beyond what it actually is ( a composition of metals or a single monometal ) that's so deadly because of it's design and high BC ( making the sponsoring bullet manufacturer happy ).
Or maybe the show spends thousands of extra dollars for extra or unlimited tags at private outfitters until they actually get that 1 shot,"dropped in it's tracks" kind of footage that makes the sponsors happy and dupes viewers into believing these shots are an every hunt occurrance when using the same equipment that are promoted on the program.
It would be interesting to hear the results from hunters who've tried this kind of shooting without being sponsored.
They are intentionally trying for a hit that drops an animal in its tracks.
I have had a deer do a cartwheel on impact with a lung shot but it is spine, neck, head and shoulder shots that have an immediate effect usually.
