Not trying to be harsh here or anything, but to be honest-if it was me, I would have made sure, before the season started, as two where my slugs were hitting with my gun. Then, once I found a combination that patterned well at shotgun ranges, I would practice, practice and then practice a little more.

Hope you get a big one soon, good luck out there!
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4

A miss at ten yards? wow, thats gotta hurt. Sounds like some bad karma out there. I suggest a re-cleansing.

Instead of hunting, you, your Dad, and your buddy, should all be at the range trying figure out why you are missing. I am curious to know if it is operator error or the gun is off. :?

What slugs were you using?
What sights are on your guns?
If your guns are set at 120 yards then your dad may have shot over top of the deer at 10 yards.

I would have jumped so high I would have missed too, It can be hard with a scope at that yasrdage. All you see is brown and you have a precious few seconds to get a shot off. Better luck next time man.

Are you sure that the shots were clean misses?
Did you guys look for any hair or blood?

Have you two had a vision check lately? It sure wouldn't hurt to have your eyes checked out for glasses! :mrgreen:

Double barrel shotguns "CROSS" at a certian range.Each gun is different but they all cross.My buddy Used a double barrel turkey hunting until i video taped him shooting a turkey @ 30 yards [both barrels] and slowing down the video and showing him both"power pistons" passing right and left of the gobblers head. he missed lots of birds with that gun......he knows why now!!!!!
