Default RE: Most Humiliating Hunting Experience

Camelcluch was kind enough to 'spot' for me when I drew RFW antelope tag for a nearby ranch. On each antelope I saw saw I guessed the range, then he told me what it really was. 300 yrds guessed was usuallly 450on the rangefinder. SO next fall IWILL have a range finder even if I dont draw a tag. No shame in your missing asover two days I also fired at least a dozen misses.I then suspected my scope was off, as my shooting usually isnt THAT bad.A week or so after the hunt I benched my rifle inmy shop and it was off two inchesright on paper when I boresighted it. So I was missing left by 4" at least. The elev was ok. How it got so far off I dont know as I shot it several weeks before on a 100 yrd range.

Oh well, theres always next season...
