make sure your rifle is at zero fer the distance you are shooting..i'd imagine that you shot about 1/2 the distance of your zero, the bullet was on the "up", making for a bad shot.
If we're talking about a high-power rifle, we should only be seeing a difference of a couple of inches for a closer shot (assuming he is zeroed at 100).
