[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 884930, member: 35183"] What are you looking for on this forum ? This is a "long range" forum after all ? I heard that you took 2 shots. First time you said you hit 10" above the point of aim. Second time you had a clean miss. Between both shots you tried a different way of holding the weapon without having practiced on an inanimate object first (target). Are you learning anything ? Are you going to approach the situation in a more practiced and scientific manner next time ? Will you have spent money and time and put enough lead downrange at several distances to know where the bullet will hit, what the drop is for different ranges and know how to reliably support the weapon in the field ? I killed 1 buck with my Savage 20ga bolt action slug gun and that was shot right below the ear at 125 yards. Yes, if you do not get an accurate range, it is not going to be easy to hit anything clean, but a lot more so when a buck is facing directly at you pawing the ground and you don't want to gut shoot it. I figure I made 3 trips to the range and fired about 30 rounds of 3 different types of 20 ga slugs before I got the weapon figured out. After that, I needed an accurate range on the target, no other excuses. [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7312/11179999113_58e2e8f28d_z.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
