Hey everyone, here is a quick video I put together from an evening hunt that took place early last year. Nothing flash just some raw footage. You will see it wasn’t the best shooting day on the hill but hopefully it helps you pass another 10minutes or lockdown time. Stay safe, Dylan.

looked like elevation was 8-10 inches off as well.what distance was the shot?good stuff for having the guts to show the vid not that it was a shocker anyway.
Can’t 100 percent remember the range but I think it was about 400ish. I don’t think elevation was too far off as I was tryingQuote:

happens to us all !
Nice one. At least you found her.
Good effort guys.:thumbsup:
Quite amazing that wind drift, any idea about the speed of the wind at a guess ? Good Video thanks for posting.
Good that you found her, do you not dial for windage? I find it easier than trying to hold off, that way you can aim where you want to hit.
@Mooseman not too sure, it would have been blowing pretty good in the middle of the valley though.
@outdoorlad Yea I prefer to hold for wind
Thanks for the positive feedback all
Good effort locating her and putting her out of her misery.
Its happen to me once before, and it's a horrid feeling in the gut of your stomach. You only learn from these errors and make better informed decisions next time.
Hey Dylan that would have been a huge relief to you catching up with that hind ,well done. After thirty odd years of mostly bush hunting i am just starting to get into this long range stuff with my 7mrm , and i can say its been an eye opener when shooting at a target just how much even a light breeze effects the bullet. cheers Ian
It sure was mate. The wind never stops teaching us lessons aye!Quote:
