[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1606560, member: 99519"] Greatly appreciated.....but i can't say every animal I have shot has gone down, and was dead....nor can I say every shot I have taken animals with has hit the spot I was aiming... One elk..350 yards..aimed for the base of ear...missed by one inch behind ear...instant death... This years mule deer....226 yards...severely quartering away...shot hit two inches to right...hit back hip..142lrab traveled the entire way to inside of sternum...dead deer...eventually...didn't find it til next morning....recovered 1/3 of meat....deer suffered for about 60 yards from impact.......still sick that I could not find it after 6 hours of searching and walked right up to it next morning.... Second Muley 329yds..bedded.....missed poa by one inch right 142 lrab traveled all the way to front of back quarter...buck did backward flop.....down... Recovered both 142lrabs... Blackmail deer 125yds....across extremely steep draw..i leaned back into hillside to make shot with my elbow in my gut for a rest... Missed poa by 18"...hit that buck in the neck..down instantly...if I had made the perfect behind the shoulder hit on this buck he would have fallen down into the rock bluffs....luckily he fell right behind a stump on his trail......i stood below him while quartering him up to haul him out......... As i said......sometimes things don't go right.....sometimes we get extremely lucky....sometimes practice doesnt matter.... [/QUOTE]
