do you use the crosshairs for a six o'clock hold or do you cover the target? What I mean is, I have tried milk jugs with a 1x at 100 yards and it all but covered the jug. So in your case were you holding over? While you didn't hit the jug, I am impressed. If you knew where you hit, I could see you holding a little higher and making a sold contact. Did you try that?
