Thanks guys. OK, I shoot just 80 grains of APP with a 240 grain Hornady hollow point/XTP. 209 conversion kit installed with straight 6 power scope over see thru rings. Old used Knight Woverine I bought this year for $150 bucks with the scope on it.
Yes that is my corn field I planted this spring and I justbush hogged it last week just for black powder season which started Saturday the 4th here in North Carolina. I feel cut corn is more natural to deer than shelled corn during gun season but I used shelled cornfor bait all during the archery season. Also, after gun season ends, Jan. 1st, I turn back on my shell corn feeder so they have corn all through the winter and summer. Then turn it off when archery season starts.
No, he was only 35 yards from my box stand when I shot him.(stand in back ground) And yes I called my son and he came andtook the picture before we even moved him an inch. LOL. No, the 240 grain hollow point/XTP didn't exit him as Ihit him square in the high shoulder. (scapula) Only 80 grains of APP. Anyway, less messy and no blood anywhere. LOL
Thanks again for the comments and congrats. And thanks to you cayaqad for giving me those tips on cleaning this rifle a week or so ago.
