[QUOTE="belldar, post: 2104945, member: 17374"] enough to mis the deer. 7.5 inches roughly? It is good to make it a habit when shooting critters at long range to take your time and take a good shot(broadside). There is something mentally taxing to taking long range front on shots, to me anyway. Check and recheck As you usually have time when they are out there that far. Not trying to be that guy as I have been there myself. I also don’t dial windage but use my MOA hash marks to adjust Windage so it takes more error out of the shot(heart racing, dialing in scope wrong Etc..). Just my 2 cents. Learn from it and you will connect the next time. It’s A LOT different shooting at range steel vs shooting for that nice buck you have been after😉 one last note. In my experience when right Handed persons miss on a deer that get them a bit excited it usually ends up right as a right handed individual will pull right when squeezing the trigger at times. a person may be so Zoned in that they don’t realize they do it. I try and get those individuals to do a dry fire or two to calm their nerves a bit before taking the shot when time allows. [/QUOTE]
