"IF" you're doubting the scope , change it out . without a good scope everything else is meaningless .

from my past experience , you'll have a hard time telling much about the spotters ability inside the store , or out in the parking lot . it's too bad a guy can't get 2 or 3 of these spotters for a weekend . try them out in the field , the way you're wanting to use them . it would really be...

seeing bullet holes out to 200 yards in paper targets will not be too hard . use a nice light colored paper with a light color target circle . any target with black is not good . the black blends the holes in . steel at 1000 , again keep the plates painted white . if you want a...

this would be hard . prayers sent for the family .

what's your use , spotting bullet holes ? and at what distance ? have you considered a target camera , and a tablet ?

that camp looks like one, I often drove past, along the Juniata river . MT Union / Shirleysburg area . I've done a lot of hunting trips , with different groups . I've shared camps with unknown guys on guided hunts . I belonged to a hunting lease . it takes a good group of guys...

that target in your original post will hunt all day long , especially inside 100 yards .to center the group over the target, looks to me as needing , about 1 1/2" to the left ? move it left to center it on the bullseye , and go hunting . it's nice to have something that shoots really...

yes , that should help show you about the cold bore shot . it will make a long range day . take a couple more guns along to play around with , while this one cools .

I know you said your range time is limited ,and all shots would be at 100 yards max . but here is something I have done , and you could try . a couple of years , I had carried one target along on all my range trips , and only put one shot on it each range visit . that would be the "...

going from memory , the hunters seem to be fairly successful during the hunts . I'm not sure of the reasons , it seems the bull hunters are just about 100% always . the cow hunters is usually where the success ratio falls off . maybe the bull hunters stuck to it better , just a guess . the...

those are good prices .

a little bit of a recap , and a couple more elk taken during the archery season . sounds like the hunters had a good season . https://www.outdoornews.com/2026/10/16/pennsylvanias-archery-elk-hunters-do-better-than-in-previous-years/

here is how I'm adding up they story . I could be adding 1+1 and getting 3 , so I could be way out in left field , time will tell . "IF" any of these rules are broken , the elk will be considered illegal and confiscated , with everyone involved being fined , and or loss of future hunting...

I've always found the 7mm-08 easy to load for . about everything shoots good enough , and a lot of stuff shoots great . RL17 is the powder to use , if looking for velocity . I also use IMR 4064 , and H 4895 . it's really a great cartridge .

Natchez has always been good , when I've delt with them .
