[QUOTE="airborneike, post: 856109, member: 32751"] Most hunters who have hunted for many years have made poor shots at some time or other. I have too and lost animals as a result...but learned from the experience. One of the most remarkable "screw ups" I remember was when I was in my late twenties. Deer season was opening the next day and for some reason I had not been able to get to the range to check my zero. Not to worry, I had a place behind my house where a 100 yd shot could be made so I took a target to the base of a poplar tree and of course I didn't have any thumbtacks or anything to fasten the target to the tree. Light bulb! I drag out my trusty old tinker swiss army knife and use it to hold the target...you know where this is going....First shot dead center on the knife at the top of the target! Could not have hit the knife if I had been trying! Oh well, knife wasn't very sharp anyway. [/QUOTE]
