I also missed (another) one recently. Second of the year. First with SBHH 44 Mag. at 40 yards. Second recently with 35/30-30 Contender at less than 40 yards. I simply rushed the shot and pulled off. Complete miss. I now know how much practice I did not get done before the season. Confession is good for the soul. 10 days left to fill the freezer with one more and I am working hard to resist the rifle temptation.
