Believe me no one feels worse than me.last thing a guy wants to do is wound a animal with any platform. No animal should of been wounded. Truth is I have seen bad shots with rifles and shotguns do the same. A bad shot is a bad shot with any weapon. Bad on me for not doing my part. Thanks for the honesty though perhaps that particular platform wasn't right to begin with. Maybe I will practice with something different. No hard feelings rather way
