[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 571975, member: 9172"] The problems I see are....you called a 5 foot miss and your spotter called a foot and a half....twice. Air temp, alt, ect... could be a bit of the problem, but 5 feet!!! You are shooting over 700 yards at a moving deer.....either I am extra carfull, a poor shot, or something, becuse I tend to pass on moving shots past 400....that of course is just me. Some guys are better than others at moving targets, but yours was 1/4ing away and moving uphill to boot...you would need to lead both in the X and Y axis...ie in front and above....quite a tough shot in my book. How much of your 'low' was caused by the deer moving "up"? It seems like no matter how much we practice, Murphys law always seems to creap in there some how. Saturday my son lines up at a deer at 515 .... virtual chip shot..using my 1K comp gun. Bang.....hit below the feet by a bunch. Go back in time to before season....I dial up 10 MOA (one spin on the NSX) to bang my 750 yard gong. ....back even further in time...... I have had some of "my guys" come in shaking thier head before....diled up to bang a rock at XXXX yards....you know, showing off for thier friends....and forgot to dial back down....and missed the "buck of a lifetime". DUMB, DUMB, DUMB.....IS MY RESPONCE!!!! Well, I dialed down.....yep , I did...FRIKIN TWICE!!!!! My son hit 10 MOA low.......DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!! ALL HAIL MR. MURPHY!!!!! [/QUOTE]
