[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1397859, member: 8873"] Thanks for sharing your experiences Will. Good examples of some kind of error. One long range and the other short range. Doesn’t matter the range, we are gonna make mistakes. Just hope that they are learned from. When speaking to guys about hunting I hear all kinds of stories where I think the guy made a crappy decision to shoot. About 99% of them are at what could be considered normal hunting ranges. Sometimes our nerves get the best of us too. Have I done it, yes. Did I learn from it, I like to think so. Like stated earlier, I didn’t take a shot on the only cow elk I had in my scope this past year. Two seasons back I had what would have been my biggest buck to date @ 40’ish yards. A huge 8 that easily tops 150”, but had some brush between us and I didn’t want to take that chance. This was with a .510 caliber rifle shooting 725 grain bullets. I would have much preferred him in a power line cut over or cross canyon at 600 yards than what I was dealt. [/QUOTE]
