[QUOTE="ATH, post: 257077, member: 1656"] His first shot was NOT described as a sighter, it was intended to hit the elk. Therefore it was simply a miscalculation and a miss. The third one in a row over two animals at that range. Yes, GG is a very precise shot and once he had the adjustment he shot a very impressive group for that range -- I'm certainly not arguing that. But there is a difference between precision and accuracy, and for a shot of that distance you need both. Precision means little if the group is centered where it shouldn't be. I care a hell of a lot more about the accuracy of the 1st shot than the precision of follow-ups, a poor accuracy wounding shot on the first round and that elk might not stick around to see how precise the follow-ups are.
