[QUOTE="bpwsm, post: 2843794, member: 15715"] I agree with the OP and above... I've taken dozens of guys out over the last 20yrs, and it blows my mind how poorly people shoot, even return hunters that are so disappointed in themselves because they either wounded an animal or didn't get one at all and say, "I'm going to practice all the time and be better next year", then show up and are just as bad. We can usually get to 150 of any animal and most shooters can't make a clean kill. I had an Army Sniper (true story!) brag about how good he and his 6.5 creed. was while turning his dials at our 100yd sight in... I thought oh boy here we go! Sure as **** I had him and a first time hunter at 120yds of a group of Antelope, the newby shoots ..bang flop. Sniper shoots and misses, shoots again wounds the animal and eventually needed five shots all inside of 200 to finally put it down... Don't brag... Practice!! [/QUOTE]
