Default Practice makes perfect

This is my last day off for a while now (Starting another job tomorrow which is a part time air marshaller) So I thought - Why not practice for deer season in October for going to MS. I have a deer target but i only seem to managed lung shots.

I think my shots are ok same with grouping but what do you guys think? All shots were taken at 25 yards, as long as my garden will go lol





At least the robin was watching

Good shooting. Try to get yourself some paper targets showing atleast the chest outline of a deer and maybe where the vitals are. Shooting at a bullseye target is good but shooting at something that looks like the intended animal you are hunting will get you more comfortable when the real thing steps in front of you.

Good deal. Shooting at that target will get you better prepared. But the key is practice practice practice. And then paractice practice practice in your hunting clothes so. Shooting in your everyday clothes and shooting with a facemask and your hunting garments are 2 different things. Some serious shooting flaws can arise when you put the camo on.

Your right, though I haven't got myhunting clothing yet. Was thinking of either realtree AP or treestand. i think my neighbours would give me funny looks

Thanks for the advice by the way.

LOL, The heck with the neighbors!!! You should have seen the crazy looks my neighbors give me come august when I come out to shoot in full camo. LOL!

Realtree APG is a good choice. I like what they have done with that pattern. if I wasn't as happy as I am with my Enigma Camo I would probably own some of it. I was a realtree user before.

No problem with the advice. Glad I can help. If I can save someone some of the trouble I have had in the past im all for it. Good luck to you.

Yeah to heck with them

I want to be more than 100% preped for my hunting trip to Mississippi. My significant other has such confidence and faith in me. Bless him.

I have a realtree AP cap. No use for Scotland, most people here use APG but for Northern MS in October i would have guessed AP or treestand.

AP or APG are good choices. But take a good hard look at some of the other open Patterns, such as Enigma, Predator, and ASAT. But if availability is an issue you can purchase Realtree just about anywhere. I personally stay away from anything by Mossy Oak. I believe their patterns are to filled in and too dark. Im not saying their patterns don't work but i just am a believer in a more open pattern and Realtree has taken a good step in going that direction with their pattern. Like I stated before I am an Enigma Camo Fan, but the problem there is you can only get the clothing by directly ordering from them. But trust me the clothes are some of the finest made I have ever seen. Top notch stuff. IMHO good quality hunting clothing is well worth every cent you pay for them.
