May seem a silly question but what are they like on Rams ?…..is placement a thing for horned beasts ?

Reason I ask is, went to shoot a ram once with a mate using the .22 dispatching pistol and the round bounced off its forehead at point blank range, the thing went potty and when we caught it up again we had to shoot it behind the ear 

They do rams easily mate, placement is key, bit feed on floor an they stand nice an still most time, days of shotguns an pistols have gone thank god haha iv heard some horror stories

Iv saw a few dogs get done by rifle an it ain’t nice haha but by time I got around stock most places use the bolt gun, I can’t lie it’s far better an humane, pithing them tho can be a bit emotional to new folk haha

About 50 years ago an old mate went travelling and landed a job in an abattoir in Spain he was given a belt with a selection of hammers on going up to a small sledge for cows and horses the Spaniards also found it amusing to stick a horses beating heart down his shirt because he was English and we like horses
