[QUOTE="kolob10, post: 1771587, member: 27227"] Last year during deer season I slipped on a wet foot bridge and fell flat on my back. I had my rifle on a sling on my shoulder. I hit hard and right on my rife. I couple hours later... I had a buck within 30 yards unaware of my presence. I was worried about losing zero but it was an easy shot. I aimed at his neck just behind his head so as not to lose any good meat. Clean miss. First deer I have missed in over 50 years of hunting. Went home to check zero on the rifle. Long story short - rifle was off 8 inches high and eight inches to the left. Re zeroed the gun and it still shoots fine to this day. Had my rifle fall off the hood of my truck in Wyoming years ago. It hit hard on the scope. Went back to ranch headquarters and zero was right on the money. [/QUOTE]
