[QUOTE="long450, post: 244295, member: 8426"] As for now, take rifle to the range, hopefully without changing anything and see where it is shooting. It is easy to turn knobs the wrong way. Be sure that didn't happen. If your rifle is sighted in at say 300 yards and you used known or balistically calculated elivations, you should have landed close enough to the animal to get some kind of reaction besides continuing to feed. By the way, sometimes in wind blowing away from you at that range you may not hear the impact of the bullet. My bet is that the shot was over the animal. Don't give up. Learn something and try again. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
