Did COD4 make me a better shooter in real life?

Winning Friends and Influencing the People in My H
Hunting season opened on my reservation on Nov 1.

I rarely shoot any gun but decided it would be fun to go hunting with my brother and brother in law.

For $20.00 you get 2 tags. One fore a whitetail doe the other for any deer. Everybody uses the latter to go for a trophy buck as if you get a buck it has to be a 4X4 at a minimum.

My brother says we'll use opening weekend for the whitetail doe and use the next few weeks for scouting and waiting for colder weather (unless we see a buck worth shooting).

Anyway at the end of the day yesterday a good sized whitetail doe was running away from on a hill about 140 yards from where we were walking.

I decide it's my moment and through my scope aim the .243 a shade ahead of the doe and wait for it to reach the crest of the hill, I then fired and the doe disappeared over the top. It appeared to drop but it was hard to tell because of it's pace and the fact that I shot when reached the top.

Anyway sniping in COD4 requires patience and generally you have to lead moving targets to get a kill.

We decided to walk over their to check out the area. Sure enough I had shot the doe in the face and it had died.

In 2 weeks I'll have steaks, a roast, jerky, and andouille sausage to enjoy.

Thanks COD4 for making me a lean, mean, killing machine. :gun:

What other explanation could there be? I haven't fired a rifle in over 2 years and this was my first shot.

Could happen. "My friend" has become an expert at picking up prostitutes due to GTA.

I am curious if your kill to death ratio is better now in real life as well. Give the doe a gun and let him shoot at you. Just curious.

:gun:

What?
Grats on the shot but COD4 made you as much of a good shot as Guitar Hero made you a rock phenom.

Sorry for the news.

In a van...down by the river.
Nice job on your kill.
As far as your question....In mind maybe....but not matter.
Yeah & give a Guitar Hero expert a Les Paul & a Marshall 2x12,put him in a room & ask him to play "Message in a Bottle" and you'll get a Les Paul,a Marshall, and a deer in headlights:DLOL
Thats why they're called video games i guess.
