Hunting typically has less precision requirements, relative to bullseye shooting. Bullseye shooting can get pretty extreme in the level of precision required. A bullseye rifle competitor at 200 yards lying down is generally unhappy with a shot that is more than 1.5" away from the centerpoint. A deer's vital area is like over 5" from centerpoint. Even varmint hunters have bigger targets. I don't hunt, but I compete at bullseye and practice at a range with a lot of hunters, and we routinely get into discussions of how what I need to be good at (precision stuff) has like literally nothing to do with what they need to be good at (mostly, finding the critters, and not spooking them).
