the one on the left, was a head shot. he was coming down, gave him a little bark to get him to stop, when he did i got him, but came out low back end of rib cage. the middle one, i did crack in the middle, was last one i got, waited like 30 minutes for him to give me a shot. when he did, i took what he gave me. so all head shots except the middle one.
