Misses
« on: January 10, 2012, 08:42:14 PM »
This year 2 misses and hopefully that is it. Frist was a chip shot at a grey fox and this past sunday evening I missed a red (like 80 yards shooting at the eyes) :-\. Like I said hopfully that is all the missing that I do this year. How often does this happen to you guys  in a season.

I started out the season with two misses.It causes you to lose confidence in your shooting.I would take a trip to the range just to make sure everything is still lined up and to get your confidence back.I haven't missed one since.

I missed my first shot this year. It was a red about 85 yards away. I was holding right on his glowing eyes and just as the gun fired I pulled a tad low. (I adjusted the trigger since then so it won't happen again)

I missed six so far this year.  Actually I hit two of the six but never recovered so I count them as misses.  I had four misses in one night before I quit that night.  Had trigger work done and the gun needed sighted in again.

Hit and couldn't find my first two of the year, last Friday night in the snow storm. Quit for the night and was shooting at paper the next day. Hope to see some more now that I'm sighted back in.
