Default Broke the renegade in

Going to have limited time this yearwith school and work, headed to buddies down east Friday and Saturday
Started my season off with a Double a doe shot around 7am and a 5 point shot around 8ish- used my renegade hunter and 80 grains of 3f along with a .015 patch and a .490 round ball
This is my first buck with a muzzleloader and tickled pick as I shot him at 93 yards open sights, he traveled 25 yards, the doe was shot about 30 yards and did the curly shuffle where she stood
Impressed with the RB as both had complete penetration, and the doe it exited out the shoulder

Congratulations on the venison. Some real nice shooting there. And again, that little round ball of lead does the job just fine. The Renegade is one of my favorite rifles.

Excellent Brknarrow! That's the way to break in a gun.
