With a plain ol' hawgleg, off hand about 30 yards, tree as a rest 50 yards, over sand bags 75 yards - give or take a few yards on all. I've killed deer out to 60 yards leaning against a tree. With my Contender and a rest, 100+ yards. I'm not a fan of shooting Contenders/Encores off hand. I find the scope wiggle to be ridiculous in my hands. Drives me crazy....


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
