Is a .243 enough for a cow hunt?

Close and controlled is the key words. What unit did he draw? If its the 6A hunt and can give you some ideas where they will walk pretty must past you everyday.

It looks like it will be 6A and 5B south.

My son has the same hunt and is also using a 243. I just plan on getting him as close as possible and only taking a broadside shot. Using the Hornady Superformance SSTs, hes able to stack them side by side.  Wish he was comfortable with a larger caliber,  but it is what it is.

Is the noise to much or the kick. If it's the kick get a sims recoil pad it will make it alot better for him. Noise then double up on the hearing protection.

If its on it feet keep hitting it. Seen elk get hit good and the shooter thinks it is gonna go down. Then it takes off sometimes never recovered. Shoot till they hit the dirt.

It was the combination of noise and recoil. He's doing way better and seems to be over his fears. Now if I could just get him comfortable on my 6.5 PRC, I'd feel way more comfortable.
