Think it is subconscious that we take those shots we are comfortable with.  Never thought too much about it until it keeps coming up as a topic, and I think we just overthink it.

Even as a youngster hunting, always passed a shot if I had doubts and it just came natural - didn't even think about it. That would be shooting those bullfrogs between the eyes with my Benjaman pellet gun when wading down creeks outside Coyle, Ok. Had to hit just right or they would stay alive, but between the eyes like my father taught me, they float for a few minutes and you can wade out to get'em. If that shot could not be taken, you waited until that ole frog came up in the water again. Same with bow hunting.

I've been doing most of my practice anywhere from 30 to 50yrds  now when I get close to around 15 I shoot over the target. Now I just set my baits up at 30.

Roy from PA,

That fire extinguisher looks like it's been taking quite a beating!

Three fingers under ain't working for you brother. When you get outta that sling I'll give you a few pointers.
