It was 1 shot 1 kill last year... these deer were just dumb enough to stand there long enough for me to reload... a LOT. LOL I was frustrated, but I'd rather take 4 shots and miss at standing deer than be like the fruitcakes around me that I hear EVERY year, BANG! BANG! BANG! And you KNOW they are shooting at a deer running across the field! Sheesh... I went to muzzleloader and STAYED with it because it is more accurate at longer distances, but it definitely helps to know WHAT distance you are shooting! [:@]
