The New Omega SLAYED 'em!

Big doe on opening morning andmy biggest buck yet, a 10-pointer the next morning. He's certainly not a magazine-cover deer, but my biggestthus far.I'm shooting 2 Pyrodex Pellets and a 250 grain Shockwave. No blood trail, however, both deer dropped within 80 yards of where they were shot, the doe only about 10. The buck was a 190-yard shot, which I have NEVER practiced anything over 120 and I simply adjusted up a little bit and put it right in the goods. The new T/C impressed the crap out of me and I'm a full-time blackpowder man come firearm season in Illinois from now on. All the other guys shoot shotguns and were on my case before we hunted for not being able to reload as quickly, but once they saw the range and accuracy of this weapon, they too were very impressed. For those of you who have helped me along in the process of getting me ready for gun season with my new Omega, I sincerely thank you. I know there were others, but Cayugad especially, thank you man. All your help has truly come back full-circle for me, so I hope you get some satisfaction out of this knowing that you helped a fellow hunter put tags on a couple nice deer with his new smokepole....
