I undertstand you trouble, now try this. Using your scope cross hairs, focus on the point where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect. Now place the intersection point on target and shoot when you have settled in using the correct breathing technique and trigger squeeze technique. Try this and see if it can make a difference...........I missed the first 2 deer I shot at, broadside and not moving either. That was year 1 and year 2 of deer hunting for me. The third year I had a shot and employeed this technique, focus on the cross hairs and bring cross hairs on target and killed my first deer. I has another success in the M/L season that year, last year to be exact. It took a painful 2 years before I found somryhing that worked. Try it out and see what it does for you. Good luck. Let me know if you have any results.......BC
