Did the same thing 3 years ago, I had a 25 yard shot at a buck and shot right over him. I think my problem
was I had the Sights 3" high at a for Elk. Next time I hunt der I will have my scope set at 1.5" to 1.75" hope fully that will help.
3" high at what distance? Do you have a clue about the trajectory before your sight in distance?

Also, the op admitted that it was entirely his fault for missing/messing the shot up. He said he went out and tried shots at a target set up at 50 yards and shot quite well. This post was on the previous page (6). He admitted probably a little "buck fever" and jerking the trigger. Seems like a cool dude to admit the problem was entirely his fault. I have buddies that will never admit they had buck fever and always blame everything else like the "scope was bumped, round didn't fire, ammo was faulty, safety was locked on, trigger didn't work", etc. etc...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Hold on to that forearm, too, all the way through the shot.
