Default RE: Handgun for Deer

Quick tip I forgot: I kinda take it for granted, even though I've only been shooting HG about a year. But the easiest position to shoot accurately for MOST people is sitting on the ground with your back against a tree and the gun on your knee. Which is why I look for ground/blind sites in preferance over treestand sites when thinking about HG hunting.

Also, if you ever get the itch to reload the straight walled handgun cartridges are how I got started and is where I suggest others start. Its really fun and educational.

Another interesting tip. A slower load will actually group HIGHER on the paper. How? its in the barrel longer so the "flip" is higher by the time the bullet exits. Neat peice of info I went months without knowing.
