[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1603054, member: 102867"] Exactly. I’m sorry. That idiot was thinking how cool he would be with that elk on his wall. He was not thinking bout shooting. He certainly was not thinking at all when he made the second thru last shots. There is no cure for stupid. The guy in that video had never shot anything alive at 600 yards. He bought a LONG RANGE gun and a really big scope he probably had set on 30x and trusted the FORCE to do the rest. His experience clearly has been on level ground off a bench. We have all made bad shots. Ive never made two in a row. I like to think that if that guy wasn’t a yahoo he would have never posted that video. Clearly he is too stupid to realize just how bad it is. Kinda like being proud of crashing your car while drunk and bragging about walking away. The tell in that this guy is a moron is the follow up shots. There are some good shooters here. I hope they would all agree that when we miss a shot like that its likley a bad read, angle, wind, distance, etc. The difference is those of us who can shoot would understand instantly from that shot and know intuitively what to correct to make the followup without holding a conference or opting for a life-line call back to the gun shop. And more importantly, if we have to make a second shot our focus on our form and execution goes to another level because we understand our responsibility to these animals is not just a cliche. That clown had no idea what he did wrong the first time so he had no idea what to fix. You know what they say in the navy, if you can’t tie a good knot tie a whole bunch of bad ones. If you can’t make a good shot make a whole bunch of bad ones. And someone mentioned Elk fever. Anyone who gets elk fever 600 yards away from an animal has never done this beforeand shouldn’t be doing it at all. I’m sorry but this kind of thing really p——-es me off. [/QUOTE]
