We see it often. A guy brings his hunting rig out to have a play at just 300yds. "So you've got a good zero for this?" I ask. Yup they go, then proceed to barely clip the outer edge of the big target frame, and sometimes no hit at all. And yet they still bring home animals. I think this just shows how many animals are shot at close range.
