They got about 25 each fire formed and the deer this year aren’t safe at 800 I know it for sure.


Good on you for this, but could you explain the "25 each" thing? They each only have 25 fire formed rounds, and thus only shoot 25 times per outing? Only shot those 25 rounds once? If the latter, that seems to be very little practice to be confident out to 800. If the former, that that would take a lot of trips to the range, to really wring a rifle out.
Doubly so for a younger, and I presume fairly inexperienced shooter.

That's not a slam at all, but I am curious.[/quote]

Lots of work with parallax and knob twisting. Lots of safety and teach proper techniques. 25 is a lot of shooting when it’s dial back to zero each time and get a sight picture find the target ect.
They don’t get to just lay lead. I’m teaching them to kill not waste ammo.

They Mag dumped the 22lr’s for another 200 rounds each plus. But the killing rifles require that the gain a understand beyond just pulling triggers. Even make them load and do mag changes. I know it’s ocd but when my daughter and son show up in deer camp or a Democrat cleansing everyone will appreciate the skills they have earned.
