Well, I have had my CVA Bobcat for about 4 years now, and have yet to kill something with it, until today!! No, it wasn't my elk, but I did need to get out and calm my nerves a little bit. I was out driving a two track road and saw a jackrabbit. I got out, and let a .490 round ball fly with 50 grains of Pyrodex RS. I MISSED!! Couldn't believe it, at 15 yards and I shot over the darn thing. Well, the guy didn't run very far. I was able to get another charge in the barrel as I saw him hide behind a tree maybe 50 yards away or so. I made my way towards the tree, and 10 yards away, he jumps out and runs up the hill, but stops after running only 20 yards or so. I let another one fly. BINGO!! Got him that time. Lights out, he only made one little twitch and that was it. I paced the shot to about 35 yards or so. Now my nerves are calm, and I am more confident that I can kill my elk as long as I can get within 75 yards. Whewwww, What a relief!!
