[QUOTE="blackco, post: 154352, member: 7356"] My experience with LRH has been out to about 400yds. Most of the animals I have missed are inside 100yds. WHat I have learned is that it is as easy to miss a close animal as a far one; if you don't have a good trigger pull, sight picture, breath control etc. the distance better be measured in feet not yards. All that said...I think you were affected by two seperate things, to much thought into the shot and good ol' buck/bear fever. With a 7mmRM and a big game animal inside 300yards, even if the gun is sighted in at 100yds, just hold high/middle? chest/shoulder and squeeeeeeze. I also agree with setting up another shot with similar conditions and see if it was the trajectory or the nut behind the gun.
