I only ever shot the gun at the 35 yards , or was it most likely shooter error ? It was a clean miss I’m not sure high or low tho , only good thing is I wound up having a bigger 8 come by half hour later , 45 yards that I blew right through his heart , just looking for some input thanks guys
No matter how you look at it it was shooter error because you never printed the rifle at the yardage you took the shot. Not a bash, just the truth.
