Default RE: Who uses snuffers?

Well, I had a chance last evening to find out. I had an easy shot at a doe (Twice!) and shot over her back by a fraction of an inch both times. The first shot was a steep angle shot as she was only about 2 or 3 yards from the base of my tree so I forgave myself for that one. She spooked at the shot and jumped off 20 yards or so and then wandered back over 30 minutes or so. She gave me another shot at 15 yards, broadside and I blew it again @#!$@.

Why is it that I can hit a 3-D target at that distance consistantly but just lose it when I get a shot at the real thing? Frustrating. I have even put my stand up in a tree in my front yard and practiced with the 3-D target with no consistency problems; double lung shots.

On a side note, this doe seemed injured. She was limping heavily favoring her right front leg. That is one reason I picked her to shoot. She had two fawns with her that I also had a shot at but didn't take
