I have a rifle that is very difficult to mount a scope on and you just have to remember to aim a little high and to the left....
Still, I wonder why you call them an idiot? Perhaps because you simply dislike hunting?
Even if the scope was off, all three of his shots hit to the left. He should have compensated after the first shot. Also, his spread should have been tighter. If you're going to hunt from a blind with a scope, you should have enough precision to kill the animal and not just wound it.
Personally, I don't like killing things. I had enough of that when I was younger. For me the satisfaction came from hitting what I was aiming at, no matter how small or far away. Not from killing something. So target shooting was more satisfying for me.
The reason I called them idiots is primarily because of your post (the one I responded to).
