[QUOTE="Brendan Mathews, post: 2104928, member: 107328"] I took a Shot at a Deer this year that was standing at 738 yards, he was facing frontal to me, I have proofed this gun out to 1200 yards and only shot one other Bear at 490 yards in a whole, I went fast as he was a big 4 pt and dialed my elevation but I forgot to check my windage, rookie mistake? I looked back at my kestrel and it told me to dial .5 MOA to the Left... When I looked at my gun later and checked the Dial I was set to .5 MOA to the right, at 730 yards this obviously made a big difference and I missed him twice, I did not film these shots and spent 3 hours looking for him since I thought the rifle was dead on... I never found the deer or blood and concluded I did not hit him, I am in Oregon so the jungle is thick and hard to see into it unlike open country. So my question is to you guys was how many inches to the Right of him do you think I was hitting by being dialed .5 moa Right instead of .5 MOA Left, I was 1 MOA off what the Kestrel said to do. Shooting a Gunwerks 7mm RM Right hand Twist Barrel Scope: NF SHV 5-20 Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
