    Yep, Had exactly the same issue with AB's in my 280AI, And Maunga Teitei had the same problem on his latest trip with them too, which is why he's looking for a different projectile for next year.
    You can debate how tough or not Tahr are, and it might be relevant in the open east coast country. I dont know. But in the bluffy, scrubby west coast stuff a matter of a few seconds can see a Tahr unretrievable or lost. Which is what happened.
    Ive shot and seen alot of Bull Tahr shot too. Ive seen them go straight down, and ive seen them run a considerable distance and take multiple shots. Given that my experience will be no different o anyone else, I conclude some of you are remembering your good experiences, and forgetting the not so good.
    Woody and Maunga teitei like this.
