twice this year I was short on rounds when only loading the gun. One was just ugly shooting in a new gun. The other was when I had 3 rounds in the 7mm-08 and could have filled all 6 of my initial tags if I didn't run out of ammo. It always happens so I try and plan for it. Happened archery hunting last year. Had a doe come within 5 yards after I used my lats arrow and hang out with me already climbed down and sitting in my stand on the base of the tree. She wanted to hold an arrow real bad smile The archery store ordered me the wrong replacement blades and I don't like to run the same blade twice. Maybe the 3 rounds are ok. My back can't really handle dragging more than that anyway.
