I think that the point that I was trying to underline here was that it matters not if the shot was safe, it's whether or not it appears safe, in the clip. This forum is a great teaching tool with many novices coming along - well we're all learning yada yada. I would not want someone to see that clip after doing their DSC1 without some sort of discussion such as we're having here. Theory over reality? Like learning to drive and not crossing your hands. Yes, of course. But, personally I felt that something needed to be said. In the answers it's clear that at times things are not all that they seem. And in this case there may have been a suitable backstop that they knew was perfectly safe. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But for those newer to stalking, I cannot emphasise enough, and I am sure you'll join with me, in saying that it is essential that you think about where your bullet may end up. No shot is worth the potential outcome if you cannot be sure where you are shooting. I have been in positions, perhaps not just about to take a shot, I'll admit, but where I have been stalking and some bobble-hat with map case, thermos and walking poles has popped up out of nowhere. Even in the middle of what you'd consider as being 'the wilds'.
I know that distance is hard to judge in clips, but I would say that in the main they looked like cracking shots. So another lesson - you CAN take deer at more than 70 yards. Honestly, bullets WILL go that far.
