[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1493056, member: 26535"] There are literally thousands of reasons this could have happened and is the exact reason you should NEVER take long range shots at animals unless you have validated ALL of your equipment in as close to hunting conditions as you can get. That includes verifying drops given from your ballistic calculator/rangefinder setup on actual targets, shooting the way you intend to shoot in the field. In this case, as the case most times, shooting prone. It sounds like you had everything down up to the point of shooting prone. Hard to tell if that is the reason but it would be where I would start. Keep in mind I am not saying the drops are going to be that much different but shooting prone may take a bit of adjustment to be consistent. My first guess is you are dropping the butt on the shot.
