RE: 200 yards "long ways down thar"
I think the hot weather can really magnify a lot of small errors. Barrels don't cool down like they should, and it's hard for me to concentrate on sight picture & trigger squeeze with my sweaty hands slipping off the gun and sweat dripping into my eyes.
Thankfully I ran low on bullets yesterday, so now I'm going to have to wait a few days before I can try the inline again.
Oh - and as far as the deer, last year I had a feeder about 50 yardsbehind the shooting bench.Shooting one dayand a doe walked up to the feeder and was eating while I was shooting. Guess they don't have much fear of the noise of gunfire.
