I've made shots like this off hand before. I guess I am out of practice. And no, I will not be selling all my guns! I've shot enough animals to know that when I miss, there is something incredibly wrong going on. I was just looking for some *helpful* advice. There were a few people that echoed my same thoughts. I was probably flinching and dipping the rifle.

I tracked each animal for 2-3 hours to be sure. I am not one to leave game in the field.
