[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1741639, member: 2736"] This is one of my funny stories (Probably should be in the humor section) but it was similar in the fact that I was told that the shot was to long and I knew that the STW was more than capable of making the shot and bringing the game down. I was hunting Axis a with a 7 STW and spotted a nice buck/bull and when the guide said that's to far to shoot at first I though he was kidding. The Axis was less than 500 yards and the rifle had zero's out to 1200 yards. When he said there was no way to get to him I ask him how did the Axis score he studied him and said he should be gold. I responded by saying I need to have a look through my scope because I haven't seen one that big. I think everyone knows what happened next ;) I steadied my self and looked, I commented that he was very nice, and about that time my STW just went off. I was shocked;) and so was he for a moment but the Axis hit the ground and he ask why I took that shot, and I responded "Because I could" He got a little mad and I told him If he could give him Mouth to mouth and bring him back I would be ok with that. He didn't speak to me for a while, But I was ok with that to. Like others, I don't like people telling me what I can and cant do just because they can't do something. Later he bragged about what a long shot it was to others. I just let him enjoy the moment and didn't have the heart to tell him that was just a chip shot and anyone with any skills could make that shot. PS: I never got invited back, but I am ok with that to. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
