    just took my rifle out for a couple shots at range to make sure it was on. Target set at 820yards. I don’t shoot this range at animals in wind but it was a pretty calm night tonight.

    Is this the modern day version of William Tell shooting an apple off his son's head? Must be a pretty good shot to be able to miss your phone at 820 yards... now that is confidence!

    Is that a 30" tablet you got there against a fridge box?

    But seriously, if you do this with your rig, why not shoot a bit further out.

    I live in Central Otago, we have heaps of huge open country, a lot of our DOC land is open grass and rocky mountainside, People do what they need to to get deer.

    I wish i had the opportunity to lean bush hunting myself. I just haven't really the places to go.
