[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 3091690, member: 112555"] My luckiest shot was about 10yrs ago. I was working in on a bedded bull elk and I only needed another 30 or so yards to start thinking about a shot. The whole thing blew up in my face when a rough grouse blew out of the underbrush. I was seething mad. I look up and the grouse is about 60 yards away on a branch. I didn't care about the wind, distance or anything else, I just drew my bow, put my bottom pin on the grouse and ripped the shot off. That black hornet broadhead decapitated the grouse. I was glad I got the grouse because that arrow kept going and I never saw it again. The other lucky shot was my from my brother. He had bought a new Ruger M77 30-06. We were hunting in a special hunt in an army base here in Alberta. It was the last day. My dad and I had done well and we each got a buck and my dad had tagged out with a huge doe. My brother was a little discouraged and we were sitting on a hillside when we saw a Whitetail buck come blasting out of a clump of trees. My brother instantly aims at the deer and fires. I watch the deer do a cartwheel and then I don't see anything. My brother thought he missed and was getting up saying we should go back to the truck. I told him about the cartwheel. We got to the spot where the deer was. It was over 300 strides as I lost count at that point. Broke both front shoulders on the deer. Later he tells me that he doesn't know how he made that shot. He felt like he was on autopilot and just let his body work without consciously trying to control anything. [/QUOTE]
