[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 572265, member: 21068"] Hello Bill, I just ran some of your numbers through the Exbal program, and thought I'd pass this on. It's saying that a moving target of 2mph requires a [U]4 moa[/U] lead at 800 yds. If the buck was quartering up at lets say a 45 degree angle, I'd guess that it would still require a 2moa lead and a 2moa holdover.? Possible that there were some vertical winds too that day? Like down drafts between you and deer? This is only an educated guess, but I am thinking that there was a combination of things happening to you, and the full extent of those things may never be known and may not even be repeatable if you went back to the same spot and re-did it tomorrow.? In one of Shawn Carlocks' videos there is a segment of "when things go wrong" it shows a similar missing situation at a buck deer. He attributed it to unseen and unknown winds in the steep canyon country. Nice buck though, and congratulations on getting it done even after the misses. I like the character and the kickers.
