[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3295808, member: 4319"] It happens to most everyone a time or two. It happens to some people every freakin year. With scoped rifles especially it sure makes you wonder. Archery can go wrong a lot easier but I'm usually pretty confident how it will go with a modern rifle. I have a buddy who is a habitual "look over the scope" guy and thus consistently drops his gun and raises his head to see if the deer is down and shoots low. Way low. Leg low or clean miss low. I am no competitive shooter myself and have lots of bad shooting habits but I can hit a basketball at 80 yards with a rifle. Some folks fall apart on game. I've lost a muzzleloader deer and clean missed 2, but never had a loss with modern rifle in 20 years. I hope jinxes aren't real and I botch a shot tomorrow...lol [/QUOTE]
