Went out yesterday with my nephew, didn't see anything, we hunted from 4:00 am to 11:30 am he had to work at 5:00 and we were aways from home. He's16 and never shot abuck so I thought we'll try to get him one, we're walkin out an I see a buck it was a 6 pointer and it hadn't seen us yet (a buck from God) he was about 60 to 70 yards out in a field just walkin along. He was too far out for his gun I know this because that gun was mine for a long while anyway my gun has a rifled barrel canaliver with a scope that came with the barrel (I know what your thiking about the scope but no $ in the budget for a ne barrel and a scope) the gun was zeroed at 100 yards w/ Hornaday slugs sts, awsome slugs! Well I hand him the gun and say you'll get 'em with this, BANG, miss buck is now standing there, I said shoot him again,BANG miss again. deer runs off check for blood no sign of any hit at all. I was givng him alittle ribbing but not rubbing it in but then it hit me, maybe it's the gun... hmmmm
On the way home there is a shooting range so we pull in to the range (same range I sighted in at) and I set up a target at 100 yards 8x8 piece of paper... clean miss I was so mad I could spit fire, I appologized to my nephew saying it was the scope he laughs and starts giving me the same ribbing I gave him.
Anyway I'm going to get that scope rezeroed today and make suer it's 100%. Thank God I did't shoot at any deer and just wound them. next year there will be a berrer scope on top of that gun I just hope that when I rezero It' will stay there.
