the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Nothing new for me this year.........a ULA/NULA slam; .243 or 7mm-08 for centerfire and ULA 209 smokeless.
Only thing that could change would be if I decided to take my Goodling built Remington .260 on a odd day.
