[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2869009, member: 75451"] My most memorable misses with badly misjudged distances were late evening shots! I thought the animals were much farther than they were. After a couple of these, is when I started using the sight-in method that I still use today. I use a 300 yard zero, .and swore a vow to myself to ”never” do a hold over…… always “hold on hair”! Using this method on my last Pronghorn, on a late evening hunt when there was not enough time for ranging the shot. I made a guesstimate of 400, held high on the shoulder, touched the trigger, and hit him high on the shoulder. Another 3 or 4 inches higher….I would have missed. Once getting to the “goat”, I ranged back to where I took the shot from….almost exactly 300 yards! Yep, the bullet impact was where I was aiming! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
