Myself, I've probably shot about 40, mostly with my 17hmr. Farthest was 200 yards. I did get one the other day with my browning buckmark at about 25 yards, dropped him like a rock. I aim at the upper torso,seems to kill them right were they stand. I haven't had any run when shot there. Together, between my brother, my buddy and myself, we have probably shot 150-200 this year. My average shot with my 17 is about 60 yards.
