Aim to kill • Focus. You should not aim at an entire animal, but rather a key location on its body to ensure you kill the animal (not leaving it wounded). Heart or Lung shots are areas to focus on.
• Get specific. Each prey is different, so do your research ahead of time to know where to focus.

• Don’t wait! If your prey is close and relaxed or pausing, take advantage of the opportunity immediately.
