[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 225723, member: 8873"] Dang dude, calm down. You posted a video of you basically flinging rounds down range at a doe with nursing fawns and expected what? A pat on the back and a better luck next time. Did you read how John Burns was scrutinized? And I think that man is the real deal. Now before you get all defensive, I think you showed some major balls posting that video. Most people wouldn't have admitted they missed those shots or even spoke up and said anything about taking a shot. I have to admit that I wouldn't have said anything and if asked my response would have been more along the lines of "Nope, didn't get anything this weekend." and left it at that, then throw it back at them "How did you do?". The good thing is that you learned something and that is what we are all here to do. Another good thing is that nothing got hurt...especially the deer...you just learned a little humility. As far as the guys here, if you can't make fun of your friends who can you make fun of? Instead of practicing from a controlled environment, try shooting with your heart pumping and in a hurry. It isn't the same...this I know from experience. Setting everything up at a range in perfect conditions where you have all day to fire one round doesn't prove but one thing...the weapon is up to the task. You said that you fired over 1,000 rounds to prepare for this. I say this not to bash you but what an instructor told us-The thousands of rounds you put down range during training mean nothing if you can't do it when it counts! [/QUOTE]
