So I killed a doe at end of season with my old M98 30-06, deer was 100 and change by my guestimate. Made a poor hit on her, catching just the rear tip of the lung on entry and she must of not been as broadside as I thought as the bullet angled to the rear from there exiting the stomach at the flank.
I thought, huh, wonder if that gun is off a couple inches? Propped off my knees sitting on a hot seat on the ground. Thought I had it where I wanted tight behind the shoulder when it went off. Couldn't be me could it? I mean I'm a good shot in my mind, heck Matthew Quiqley could take lessons, right? :? :lol:
Had a job today right near the rifle range so I packed it in the truck. Cold day, rifle was cold, ammo was cold, I was cold when I set up. 1 shot at 100. 3/4" inch left of center in the bullseye, maybe 1/2" high of center.
Appears there's just no excuses for poorly executed shooting. I guess Quigley's legacy is still safe after all. :lol:
