I took a 300 + yard shot at a NICE Bobcat using my .204 with a ballistic plex retical.


So I placed the "third" crosshair on him and squeezed one off.


He went Right Down.......Yaaa!!!



I wanted to mount him, so I did not put a follow-up shot in him but kept him in my scope while I watched himfor over a minute........... he then got up and ran off (He was playing dead).



Two lessons;


1) With such a flat shooting round I should have remembered that the .204 has a PBR of 287 yards, so there was no need to use the "third" crosshair, as I now realize that I shot over him.


2) Seems that he went Right Down because he did't know what happened or where the shot came from (take the follow-up shot !!!).




I screwed up on a NICE cat.........boy am i pissed !!!!



FYI - Don't let this happen to you !
