As a rule of thumb when handgun hunting, the following rules should be applied in order to increase the chances of a successful hunt.
Only shoot a broad side silhouette target.
Be patient, wait until you have the ability to break a shoulder on entry or exit.
Since you are shooting a firearm that is measured in the hundreds of pound feet of energy rather than thousands. A 4" pie size target should be the standard in which you measure your shooting distance.
After establishing your shooting distance, cut it by one-third to account for any errors.
I have seen excellent results using this method when handgun hunting, it most always insures a clean and fast kill.
