    Bin down with the dogs seems it was a clean miss I guess? Pretty disappointed but a miss is better than the alternative but still any way onward and upward. Saw a shot liad of animals today spooked a spiker and played with him in the bush barking back and forth. Just need to clean up the parries which are narking me off at an incredible pace. Algud im spending the next few days in steel reaffirming my long range skills and will give the back blocks a rest. Practise practice practice.
    Promise I wont put up another thread till I have bloid in my hands

    Bugger i was looking forward to a pic of a 200lbs boar. took me 4 shots to hit my boar at 50 meters the other night i just needed to chill out and place my shot while the fucker was was going like fuck running for cover. so your more then entitled to miss at 600+ meters bro.

    all good bro.. you never know you might have got it!!!

    Practise makes perfect ah... just shoot shoot shoot!!

    When you come to take the shot on a anumal slow dwn and run it all thru and check everything 3 times over!!! Its amazing what u miss in the heat of the moment

    I still don't believe in super long range animals!! Ive taken a lot inside 500m and bugger all outside that. Ive had animals to 930m and all but id prefer to get inside 500 even with the 338 it just makes me feel better!!

    Keep at it

    CD you will no doubt catch up with it at some stage. Going back to steel will confirm your thoughts I am sure. Like BB said you could well have hit it (shoulder plate).
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bob was sayin I may have hit it in the gut. And hes right thats a fair call but if my shots are out its usually a vertical variance. Im going to reposition my scope today as im just not feeling the setup that well have to move my neck into place which isnt how it should be. Then ill chuck 20 odd rounds down the range untill im happy. Nearly through my first hundy rounds so will have to get that sorted asap.

    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!
