This thread reminds me of my first shots at a deer.
We had set up camp at the top of a slip in the Ruahines. Just on dark I took a look over the top and there were several deer feeding at most 50m below me.
I lined up the open sighted 30-30 and fired three times before I hit one - in the gloom I had been lining up the base of the foresight, not the top, so the first two shots went over the deer. I'm glad they hung around long enough for me to actually drop one!
