Quick hunt from Friday 4/22

[Flir-D-Lee]

Another case of where I missed the still shot and followed up with a hit.
This was driving me crazy until I discovered on Saturday that my rail was flexing
with the 2-point rest on my tri-pod. After shooting 40+ rounds and making adjustments
I think the problem is solved. The fact that I use a clip-on only exaggerated the issue.
The fix was to anchor the front of my rifle just ahead of the mag well and the back at
the very butt of the stock. We'll find out next time I guess. I had the crosshair turned off
in this video so it's hard to tell where my aiming point was.

Nice shot! What clip on did you use?

 

[FrankT]

got him, good going. I have never had a rail flex, this an AR?

That's where I place my rifle in my shooting stick. I bet it will work.

 

[rgilbert]

Sounds like you hit him the first time.

Good shot and nice hog. Now THAT was a pig report on the 2nd shot!

 

[gshock]

Good running shot ... and good hog down!

Yep. Wilson Combat 6.8 upper. The way I noticed it was when I turned the crosshair "on" on the clip-on.
I line the two reticles up so that it shows up on video. When pressure was on the front of the rifle I could see the clip-on reticle move
up above my day scope reticle. Hopefully this makes sense. Anyway it created like a super paralax
so to speak.

Armasight Apollo.

 

[djones]

i was wondering how you figured that out. nice follow up shot

 

[Ratdog68]

Good job hangin' with him with the follow-up. Nicely anchored too.

 

[Chopperdrvr]

Nice secondary shot. I still have trouble with the running shots.

Cool video.... Just retell the story like u would a fishing story... U nailed him on the first hit! But he was a zombie hog and the 2nd running shot did him in.. Ya know... Take a page out of Djones book scrambler... One of them had some crazy hunting stories a couple weeks ago...

But seriously great follow up shot!
