under those conditions of wind and range, and I don't care what she was shooting, to have a drt like that, I think the stars were aligned for her. the amount of bullet drop/ energy loss and wind drift at that range, with that wind was pretty extreme. shooting at paper/ yotes or ground hogs is one thing, but on an elk to prove a point? hope she doesn't make a habit of it. to set out elk hunting with a 243, and a camera crew? makes me wonder if it was the first one she hit/killed, or is that the only video posted.
