Last year I took a nasty fall on some loose shale and landed on my scope. I shot it a couple times and it was right on...but just for the moment it turned out. The rear ring was damaged and it allowed the scope to move but you couldn't tell it by looking at it and it didn't wiggle by hand at all. A week later I shot an elk. I put it down but it was a bad hit, a foot to the left and 6" high at 150 yds. Luckily I spined it. She was down in some heavy brush and needed a kill shot. I got within 10 yds to shoot her in the neck. It took me 4 shots over a rest to hit her. I know guys who only carry 3 or 4 rounds with them. If I'd done that, I'd have had a problem.
