RIPing In preparation, I did go out and put 5 485's in one big hole at 50 yards over my sticks. Was nice to see them landing right where they are supposed to be so I can snipe at 250 should the need arise as it did at Sir Ron's hunt. On a less windy day, we will repeat at 200 to confirm Zero. Here on the Great Plains, one hunting the woods can still be presented the need to reach out and touch a further target on any given day. I never worry about that though as the old girl has not let me down yet. Opening day hunt has been scheduled on Public hunting grounds with ground that benefits a longer rifle so the Whitworth will be standing duty on the private farm and woods lands later in the week. I have one spot that is pretty dense, hard to hunt that others don't like so I get the run of it. Looking at retirement early 2023 and I have vacation to use in 2022 so I took the whole Deer season off. Still have to go to a leaders meeting on one day but; looking at a lot of woods and prairie walking!! Best regards, F01
