ive taking mine deer hunting.. but when i get to where im going i use a shooting stick... the kids use it for high power sil. shooting and they do very good at it... they were saying they didnt want to use it this year cause it wasnt much of a chalange. they say you point it , pull the trigger and the target goes over.. my middle son wants to use his savage 30/30 bolt again.. you should have seen the looks on the faces when he stepped to the line with that...when he took a ram over at 550 yds they asked how far of a hold over there was and he thinks it was like 96 inches... his scope has target turrets and mil dots. he ran out of adj. on the turkeys so used the dots for the rams. should have herd them when the ram went over.
