[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2430546, member: 116563"] Great post! I made one mistake ONE time (too small of cartridge for given distance) and never let it happen again. Taken 15+ animals since then with not one incident. Compare that to some people taking off hand shots at 100-200 yards on game moving through timber or something. I'd say my zero incidents in the last three years, are far surpassed by those 200 yards off hand incidents. Edit to say, my wounded animal was a 170" buck, quartering away, at 525 yards, with a 6.5 creedmoor. I pounded him, because that gun was a tack driver, and watched him walk and bound for almost a mile and never recovered him. It was my first year of hunting and LESSON LEARNED. I've since taken that same shot several times with bigger cartridges with devastating results. [/QUOTE]
