[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2336950, member: 42157"] Sucks for sure and don't beat yourself up too much. It all depends on where you were holding on the animal, and how far over its back you estimated it went. That would be dang hard to tell since the impact would have been a long ways away if the slope continued. Also, your rifles pure and your real world rifles accuracy potential at 503 yards in that situation. You should have been aiming for a 495 yard shot. Using 3000fps and general atmospheric conditions 50 degrees at 5000 feet less than 2" of less drop in those 8 yards. I wont call it a "Duff" unless I know the pure accuracy of your rifle at 500 and where you held. [/QUOTE]
