I missed a decent eight pointer at 30 yards last year when I had a hang fire and did not follow through with the shot. I had not had a hang fire in so long and when the gun did not go off I let the barrel float up over top of the deers back and that is when the gun went off. It was a two second delay. Shot right over his back and he kept on walking with his head down and never flinched. By the time I reloaded he was out of view. The hangfire, of course, was my fault. Had to relearn a lesson I learned years ago, LOL.
