I'm glad to see you analyzing what went wrong there, just want to encourage you guys to put as much work in on the shooting system as your doing on other aspects of the hunt. Get off the range, it gives you false confidence, hike back into your area just to shoot it, every day pick a spot and send one to give you data but to also build your confidence and prove your system. Long range hunting and bow hunting are identical in the prep, you shoot your bow till your running a check list as your going through the shot till there's nothing left but the release, same exact thing behind the rifle and you'll just know when thw shot is one to take and one that just doesn't check all the boxes. You guys have a great start, keep grinding!!
