@MentORPHEUS I don't know what to make of it. Its an easy shot from prone at that range But the big shot is never easy

There is an art in getting close that is just as clever as in taking the long shot, maybe needs more skill It wasn't a very good shot in the end and he was lucky to kill with it.

What was he even aiming at? Surly he went high by tensing something in his trigger hand or pushing his head down in tension as he fired. Surely one in the boiler room was the right shot here? Its much lower risk. The chest moves less and less unpredictably than the head and neck and the kill area is much bigger. A ballistic tip or twin core from a 30 06 at close range would wreak huge damage. It would be unsurvivable in much of the chest and abdomen. If he was pointing at the boiler room and he did this, it was a terrible shot prone at just over 100 yards. But the big shot can come out terrible. I have done enough Homer simpson shots and still seen them kill by hitting a vital spot I had not aimed at and I was only pointing at deer.

Most neck shots with an expanding bullet break the spine even if you don't hit it. When the bullet starts to expand the forces are so great added to the deceleration on the inside where there is more material, pulling the bullet in towards the spine as it progresses. I have never taken a neck shot that didn't break the spine of the animal and flop it on the spot. Was he using FMJ? If so why on earth?

Was he a pro who got in close but didn't take his best shot? Maybe A man who has never messed up an easy but important shot is not a real pro, he is just a man who has not taken many hard shots. Pros serve double faults from time to time. Was he an amateur who got lucky and took a reasonable shot. Maybe

We just don't know.

@Bozza I didn't have enough arsedness to go an look on etsy but I think these things usually need a bit of jazzing up to make the woman believe it will work. Its not the man its the job, the car the way he carries himself that all count and its not the piece of paper its the other crap that comes with it.

It is a great business but I expect you need to buy a stock of these sort of things and window dress the spell and choreograph the little ritual that the purchaser will perform with it.

Different coloured candles and different coloured embroidery threads (these are used for invoking different spirits and entities and binding things. Being different coloured seems to make a big difference. So you might use a blush pink candle for a love spell and a black one to kill someone (spirits like colours or can be very put off by them).

Little glass vials (like injectables come in) are useful but replace the stopper with a cork one. Spirits don't like rubber.

Glass beads and wire (like a pre teen's beading kit in fact are very attractive to spirits (I think there is a pre teen girl in most spirits or is that in most witches?)

A small cheap collection of polished semi precious stones because spirits like women like shinny stuff

Some attractive leaves and berries found in hedgerows to get close to mother earth like a girl might keep in a scrap book.

Some tiny figures you can put in the vials if need be to capture them (like lovers and enemies)

A few dress maker's pins (not good news for the enemy figures)

Now you are all sorted. write a spell invoking some vagina goddess, tell the purchaser to abstain from vices for 24 hours, bathe herself and purify the room -ideally by burining stinky herbs and waving them about- then and cast a circle. Make her light the candle, invoke the deities then invite only the chosen spirits she wants into her safe space circle (yeah witches are lefties, they need safe spaces) , then read the spell while putting the shit in the vial in a special order calling on each piece to symbolise something and tying it all up with the coloured thread.

At this point she has had a whole evening of bathing, purifying, casting circles, lighting candles and focusing on the thing she really wants. Happy hamster. She has got value for money.

Gosh I really could do this and con women this way. ...If I could be arsed.
