[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 700929, member: 2567"] I believe in being honest, if I pull a shot, it is my mistake, if the equipment malfunctions it is still ultimately my mistake to do my best to not let it happen again. With that being said, I believe in using a lot more power than needed to harvest a particular animal, because the additional energy is often enough to turn a marginal shot into a quick and fatal one. The same can't be said for marginal cartridges. I went out to the range this evening and my zero is holding and tracking is right on. I think it is time to invest in a different setup for my atv. Luckily this Monday I am heading out for elk (or wolf) and will be either on foot or horseback and hopefully a nice 6 point bull comes out across my favorite canyon (last year it was on fire) Every year at the end of the hunting season, game wardens go out and look for wounded animals and put them out of their misery. There are plenty of hunters out there that are lucky to hit a paper plate at 100 yards and then there are those of us that put in lots of hours developing loads and making drop charts all so we can take a high percentage long range shot. Are we 100 percent? No, but how many people get into a car and run a stop light or aren't competent to drive on snow and ice but do it anyway. I will continue to take long range shots that I feel are within my ability and I will do my best to make good hits, but we all know sh@t happens. [/QUOTE]
