[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1495720, member: 12443"] I believe you will find he said he was looking thru grass in the scope as he shot. Which could have been at least a part of the problem. I believe he also said he had a spotter, which I assume means a buddy watching for hits. So what was he (the spotter) doing for the 8 shots? Why wasent he telling him (the shooter) where to hold for a follow up shot? I mean thats the whole purpose of having a spotter. I believe this whole situation was based on inexperience on the part of both shooter and spotter. Go burn a bunch of ammo shooting at rocks or milk jugs, both shooter and spotter. Learn how to get a bullet from point A the miss, to point B the target, without relying on toys and technical data. Thats it, it's that easy, especially shots like that, and if it weren't that easy, then most of those who can, couldn't do it either. It's gotten to the point that newcomers believe that if they haven't read certain books or haven't bought certain items, this stuff cant be done, and thats just plain BS. Go shoot first, then decide whats needed. [/QUOTE]
