Your last sentence of your first post was what caught my attention. All of the rest of your post was well thought out. I appreciate the advice from the guys on this forum whose definition of reliable is the same as mine.
As I mentioned, I had been cooped up in the house for several days as DC had been subject to record rainfall. On Saturday I had my choice of shooting at a doe at 116 yards with my 460XVR or a fox squirrel at 35 yards. I decided to try the fox squirrel being as it would be easier to pack out and clean for the freezer. I missed five straight times. Good point was I didn't have to acknowledge missing an easy shot on a deer.
