Vital Zone Target — Moose

The largest zone on any of these sheets, and the one most often missed high. A moose carries a shoulder hump above the spine, so a hold on the top of the animal puts the shot over the lungs into muscle.

How to use it

  1. Print at 100% and check the 100 mm bar.
  2. The zone is 16 in / 406 mm at full size. It is generous, and the hump above it is what makes people miss over the top of it anyway.
  3. Read the outline as well as the circle: the bell under the throat and the hump over the withers are the two landmarks that place the shot.
  4. A moose is a lot of animal to stop. Run your load through the penetration calculator before the season.
