"I can hit a paper plate 1 outta 3 times it 100 yards." Reason #1 why people need to call CNC for a tracking dog....

Shooting sun MOA on paper don’t mean diddly for someone who can’t pull themselves together under an adrenaline packed hunting scenario. I personally like to group an inch or so while shooting under controlled conditions in hopes that I can shoot within 3-4” of my crosshairs while hunting. Lol. Aim small miss small. For a long number of years I laid the smack down on deer with a rifle and then had a 2-3 year span where I boogered a few up. It wasn’t my rifle. It wasn’t the distances. It was just me, although I can shoot very well and confidently. It just happens sometimes. Nerves do a lot to the human body. This ^^^^^^

If you can only hit a pie plate @ 100 yards..... you had better aim for the center otherwise common sense says odds are you'll be out of the vitals if you are off even a little. 10 inch groups don't work, that's the answer.
Aim small.

With a rifle: Bucks, high (2/3rd's up) and through both shoulders. Does (meat) behind the shoulder, or in the head if they are fairly close (100-150 or less) and I have a rest. The pie plate theory is why so many deer are wounded, lost, require a dog, and/or are left to suffer. I wont keep a gun that I cannot get to group at an inch or below, off a bench. When I get to a deer, if I had a decent rest, and the entrance is not "exactly" where I was aiming, I'll check the scope before I hunt with it again. Shot a buck walking the edge of a cutover this past year at 220 yds. Had a good rest, but didnt break him down. Found him about 30 yds from where I hit him. Hit him about three inches back off the point of the shoulder which was where I was aiming. Elevation was perfect and ended up hitting him high frontal lung, right in the crease, but windage was 3" to the right of what I thought was my POA. I figured he must've taken a step as I squeezed it off but I still stopped and checked zero on that gun on the way out, just to make sure. As a hunter, we owe it to ourselves and the animals to make sure our equipment is in top shape and perfect operating order, every time we go in the woods. That way, when we do decide to kill one, we do it as quickly and humanely as possible.

Y’all be careful, we had one of these threads back in the fall and I got all high n’ mighty Mr.Sub-MOA can kill a buck at any reasonable range and tracking dogs are for pu$$ies. Long story short, CNC ended up on speed dial. I’m just saying. . .I don’t know if it was kharma visiting with me, bad luck, or just time for me to expand the friend group. LOL
Known rifle, verified before and after, 100% user error. My daughter said it’s because that buck was hers to shoot. 🤣

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

An accurate rifle inspires confidence when shooting at game. Doesn't mean we don't make a bad shot with an accurate rifle, but that's on the shooter. I missed a doe last year with my most accurate gun at about 175 yards. Should have been a chip shot but I blew it. A month later I shot two deer at about 350 yards. Go figure.
