Longer angled shots are part of hunting so sometimes that's the shot you have and you put it down.If there is one ounce of thought that things could go wrong back off,your not ready at all to do this,a good memory is better than any nightmare.Plus 350 yards to most guys is a long way out,to others it's just another shot,but they got that way from experience and all have at least one nightmare and this is why they better themselves never to experience this again.

Good post.
I wish I was better at expressing my thoughts the way you do.
But we each have our strengths and weaknesses. One of my weaknesses is communication.
People on the other side of this keyboard may think I rattle off these posts in seconds. Actually a typical post takes me half an hour or more, of proof reading, corrections, and deleting before I am comfortable hitting the post button. And I still fail to make my point clearly enough in most cases.
