This weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to go on a long desired hunt for pronghorn in New Mexico. This animal was 315 yards from me, and I had to make a hurried shot with my 25-06 and Winchester 120 Grain PEP's. The bullet hit his heart and he was able to run about 50 yards before collapsing.

This shot, although not made from a proper position is the longest that I have attempted on a big game animal. It's not a long range shot by today's standards, but not one that I would have attempted before reading Nathan's books, and practicing his techniques.

I post this only to say that the techniques, practice, and skills that one learns from Nathan work, whether up close or far away, and gave me the confidence to execute a shot that otherwise would have been passed up.
