You kinda feel "gutted" when it happens. All the preparation and range time and a faulty round on a 5 yard shot. I could have got away with this had the deer been out 100 yards or so. I teach a CCW class and have been to Gunsite twice and practice this malfunction all the time with hand guns. When it happend with a bolt rifle, I went into auto mode and racked a new round as smooth and fast as you can work a bolt but the doe was already staring at me. As mentioned earlier, at least it was only a doe. I'll be out again tomorrow.
