what I dont get is.. if he know he hit bad on the first shot then why shoot 3-4 more times??? the likely hood of you getting a shot off after the 2nd rounds is probably pretty low. Mushrooming had nothing to do with the badly hit deer.. Its not using a well placed shot. Why people blame it on their equipment I will never know.. Its called human error.. its not the equipment.. you made a bad shot. chalk it up as that and stop making excuses
