I am in Arkansas and my longest shot is around 200 yards, but the average shot is less than 100. I hunt with whichever rifle is interesting to me that season. 25-06, 6.5x55, 280AI, 30-06, 35 Remington and 35 Whelen. This year, it's going to be the 25-06 with 133s, the 6.5 with 140s or the Whelen with some really slow moving 275s.


People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
