    Is scope use banned on this forum?

    I find that #1 reading glasses let me see the sights and don't give me any distortion at normal hunting distances you might want to experiment with that, best prices for four packs is Sams club

    my ethical dillema

    Southern Deer-The "Myth"

    I lived in Wisconsin my first 30 years and Georgia my second 30, my opinion is on average Wisconsin deer are larger than Georgia deer. That said there are some huge bucks in both places. We get to shoot 12 deer here in Ga and I am not real picky the smaller ones taste just fine.

    GPR Fixed sight questions

    I dimpled it and shot it yesterday I was shooting the same hole or touching holes with my load so that was great. Range was only about 30 yards but my shots were litterally touching. I got to the range late got the windage right and ran out of daylight. Next time out I'll be filing the front...
