RE: Top shooting myths?
ORIGINAL: HEAD0001
Here is my favorite one of all time.
"I know exactly where I hit the deer, and it was a good hit".
After that I ask them why didn't they recover the deer. And I plainly ask how does a deer live without a Heart??
And they reply I do not know. "But I watched it hit him". That is my second favorite. However I do not know if it is a reason or an excuse.
However I may be wrong. Maybe a deer really does not need a heart??
And I have a buddy that -------------------!!!!!!Knows everything!!!!!!!!!!!!![:@]
It always amazes me how a hunter knows exactly where he hit the animal without a recovery. Maybe he has a crystal ball?? Tom.

It does, for a little while, unless you're shooting downhill... but it's falling the whole time.

1) the bullet rises as it goes downrange

RE: Top shooting myths?
Shotgun slugs are less dangerous in semi urban areas than rifles.
Automatic assault weapons are more dangerous than manually operated guns.
Gun shows are a legal "loopholes" where any felon or terrorist can buy a gun.
Oh cant forget the classics "A 357 magnum can shoot through an engine block"

See, No mike, the bullet never rises above a straight line of your barrel, when you shoot above POA its because the position of the scopes erector tube or rear sight forces you to have the rifle pointed at an upward angle, or your line of sight is pointed down to put the sight on target.
ever watch your crosshairs from a vised rifle when you turned the scope in the up direction? your crosshair moves down, so you raise the muzzle up to get back on target. your line of sight and bullet path (even before it starts to drop) are not parralel lines. the bullet goes above line of sight because the barrel is pointed at an upward angle from line of sight.
This is why a sloped scope rail will give you more "up" adjustment in your scope than a flat one will.

RE: Top shooting myths?
energy kills
the bullet mushroomed on the hide with zero penetration
dont eat rabbitts during the summer
When I was in the Marines I was a sniper
a .243 is not a deer gun but a .270 is an elk rifle
once a spike always a spike
whisker biscuit is a good arrow rest
scent locker works
if you bust the urine bag the meat is no good
a food plot is not baiting
hunting deer over bait is not hunting but hunting bear over bait is.
baiting spreads disease
TC rifles are very accurate
Remington is better than a Savage
A 22lr ricochets in the body causing more damge than larger guns
