Default Deer season starts saturday and I'm now ready

As many of you know I switched loads about a month ago from 150 gr Pyrodex and a 295 gr powerbelt to 90 grs. of American Pioneer and a 240 gr TC Cheap Shot. Then for a back up or a wet weather/brush gun I got my Puma M92 firing 185 gr. HP Remington express bullets. Just got back from the range and both are giving great groups at 75yds (1" with the ML and .5" with the Puma). All are in the vital areas on the targets I got. I think I'm ready. Just thought I'd let yall know. I'll try and post if I can get my camera to work.

Hey Indyhunter83,
What range do you go to???
Iwent tothe new Atterbury range,but found it a bit too expensive to use, so I traveled to the old one and shot a few rounds.
I live in Avon, and normally drive out to a farm near Rockville.
Do you know of anything closer???

Best of luck this weekend,
Keith

Went down to Atterbury. You're right. It is expensive 15 dollars for 2 hours. Crosley is only about 20 minutes further away. Other than that I go to a private farm in Martinsville with some family members if I'm looking for closer. Sadly, I think Atterbury is best option for people who live in Indianapolis.
