Dang! A lot of sandy manginas here!
I think I know the point the OP is trying to make. I know someone that misses a lot of deer, I mean a LOT of deer! It's kind of embarrasing. The last time he missed it was with his "sniper" rifle. The shot was over 100 yards but he had never shot the rifle 100 yards, much less more than that. He figured since it was sighted in at 25 yards that was good enough.
It's like he misses so much he doesn't even try anymore. It's an older gentleman, so maybe it's age. He never passes up a shot, no matter how impossible it is. Sometimes it's not a clean miss but a wound that's not bad enough to kill. It doesn't seem to bother him.
