Just the other day I climbed up in a tree stand and was shooting at this target with my Mountain Stalker using Patched Roundball. This is the distance the deer usually cross in front of the stand. Its a whole different matter shooting out of a tree stand, but it is good practice. This also shows that a Bobcat or Mountain Stalker is more then enough to hunt deer with....

Good luck if you purchase the rifle.. I know the wood stock on those Bobcats are sought after by many Bobcat owners...
