l work for a pro hunter at times where when we are culling roo's we have to abide by the code, strictly head shoot at no more than 200 with no spray
(spray is not in the code but its part of what we have to be able to do because of culling around buildings ect...)
when l cull roo's on tags for farmers l do abide by the code but am not made do it, there are no tests or checks ect...
l'm not sure if the code for non-commercial is a recommendation or is actual law like it is supposed to be for commercial
l knew a roo shooter here in vic who shot roo's for a knackery that cant shoot for sh!t and never did head shots,
he is a commercial roo shooter and in the past has told me there is no need, his shots are always chest shots and he gets paid by the kilo of usable meat
the reason behind a brain shot is instant death
not everyone is up to it, its more than shooting a dot out to 200
head shooting out to 200 is not difficult if you are set up right and have learnt to shoot and read the animal
the biggest problem you can have is the animal moving/turning at the time you squeeze off the round
its what l know anyhoo
