The erratic movements of those deer convinces me a long time of flight for a bullet could change the bullet's point of impact on those deer. I haven't lost a deer yet, but I have passed up some long shots for good reasons; light, wind or a running deer.

its not hard, only shoot when they're head is up, in the last 40 years I've taken somewhere beyond 200, I've lost 2.
