Lots of you guys shoot way farther than I do, so accuracy is secondary to terminal performance in my woods.


Let's not forget to mention "old eyes" either. good grief! My kid shot his first deer last fall in WI. Nice tracking snow on the ground, I found hair but not blood. I wave him over. Kid walks right up, and says "is this blood dad?" It's the teeny tiniest speck of blood you'll never see. "Yessir, that's blood." then, "oh theres another one." crazy even in the snow, I'd never have seen it if he didn't point it out.


Camp is where you make it.
