[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 1998410, member: 115704"] I am sure I am too new to this forum to write this post, but I am going to take advantage of some of the criticisms suggested above and ask; would he have shot better if his parents had disciplined him by slapping him every time he got something wrong as a toddler? If he hadn't missed a meal or two as a teenager would he not have had those misses shooting at that cow elk at 700 yards. His misses were not due to his rifle or scope, in your opinion. Maybe it is because I am old and missed something in my formative years, but could you explain the true meaning of your statement: "An inaccurate rifle shooting 2" 100 yd groups at 700 yds is 14" on a 24" brisket to back elk, but he consistently missed over 30 inches." While I hate to show my ignorance of a sport I am new to, that sentence makes about as much sense to me as the fact that you know so much about why he missed his target, yet you were not there at the time. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me on your great abilities in these fields, or is this Monday morning quarterbacking standard on this form? I doubt anyone feels worse about his misses than Bait57 fells about his misses, but it sounds as if he did work like hell and deserves some praise for his efforts rather than condemnation for his initial failures to connect.
