[QUOTE="Shooter00, post: 854311, member: 4910"] I had one years ago, too. Cow elk on an opposing ridge, I guessed she was around 300, so with the .270 zeroed at 200, not much change. I don't know if there was an updraft coming up the draw or what, but both flew high and impacted the slope just over her back. The second shot spooked her, and she went to running through the pinions. I emptied the last three as she ran, reloaded two more and sent them before she went over the top. I was so rattled from the first two misses, it was stupid to continue to fire, especially trying to hit a running target. I got down to the bottom of the mesa, and the old timers were asking who was doing all of the shooting. I admitted it was me, but they didn't believe me. They said that was an automatic someone was shooting. Nope, I was just working that bolt on my old 700. Good lesson for me, missing such an easy shot - twice, I let my pisstivity get out of hand and all it did was make me look like a rookie fool! [/QUOTE]
