To someone that is a good shooter 400 yards is a chipshot.
Agreed. Unless the wind is miscalculated, which is easy to do on a cross-valley or cross-canyon shot.
I hit the elk and it started out leaving by far the largest blood trail I have ever seen. The dark color of the blood indicated a liver hit and chest-high blood evidence on the brush along it's path indicated a pass-through. Stuff happens.
Hope you never have a similar event.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
