Unfortunately I have experienced almost all of these scenarios. My most notable miss was when we were hunting in Wisconsin deer season and from the box blind we see a few deer across the valley. I pull up the trust .30-30 and take aim. BANG! missed. Take aim again. BANG!!! Darnit missed again. Aim. BANG!!! again I missed. My sister pulls up her 20 ga Mossberg 500 ported muzzle slug gun. BOOOOMM!!!!! shoots it in the leg. At 200 yards. So our precision lever .30-30 gets outshot by my two years junior non-hunting/shooting/gun fanatic sister and her shotgun. Fortunately we have peek through scope rings on the .30-30 and I made the kill shot when we got close. So I guess I redeemed myself. Even though again I took aim. BANG! Missed... Bang! Missed. Bang! Missed. Bang. Missed. All through six rounds. Then I aimed at the belly. BANG! Took out the spinal collumn...
Needless to say we were at the rang the next day zeroing the gun again.
