Default RE: What's your best excuse for missing

I missed an antelope two times last year at 200 yards. I hit him on the third shot at just over 300. My story was the first two times he was just too close so I shot over him to get him to move. The truth was I was breathing like a race horse from stalking it for 1/2 mile at just over 6000 feet and the outfitter was making me nervous when he kept telling me"you misssed to chamber another round." When I hit the goat at 300+ the outfitter told me "great shot!" Later that same morning I killed 4-5 prarie dogs at 75-125 yards with the same gun. Not the same kind pressure as shooting at the speed goat.
