[QUOTE="SArnold30, post: 2084191, member: 113697"] Two years ago on opening day my buddy and I got a chance at a double on two bucks (his was at 364, and mine at 358 yards). He connected on his, but I missed mine. I was struggling to get a good sight picture, so he shot before I was ready to. Then the bullet's impact and death of his buck spooked mine, so I rushed a shot on a running buck before it disappeared from view. Also, I'd put a new scope on my rifle 10 days prior and hadn't practiced shooting any further than 200 yards with it until that moment. I still cannot decide which of my mistakes is the most at fault, they were all my own foolish errors resulting in poor marksmanship. It is the only deer I've ever missed (so far), and I remind myself that a clean miss is always better than a bad hit. My buddy and I are still young-ish hunters in age, but we are not inexperienced hunters; nonetheless we vowed after that day that we were never again attempting a double. [/QUOTE]
