    Well done, but next time before you shoot at 475yds you need to know a bit more about the trajectory of your rifle. Bloody easy to wound and lose a deer at that range. Once you know the ballistics you will be good to 600yds plus. BUT you have to put the practise in. Until you do that stick to 300yds and under.

Size:  367.1 KB Thanks for the advice Stug. I have done a bit of practice however some shots are down hill and some are not, the riffle I bought was a package through hunting and fishing so the scope is not ideal for long range shooting however as long as I consider my firing zone and identifying my target beyond all doubt I am going to take a shot because as I said above a silent cannon never got anything. The distance was 475 meters not yards. Cheers!
