I never recall someone posting that is took him or her 3-4 shots to hit an animal at these ranges.
yup most won't because the reply we'll get is "see you were to far" yet short range guys miss all the time and it is acceptable. But God forbid if a LR guy misses...whoa, hold your horses there...it isn't anything but a bunch of I told ya so's
Me personally I have missed 2 times... once at 870 +/- and once at 1521. both were clean and I did kill the 1521 with the next shot.
Never have I wounded an animal or lost one. Ever.
