Maybe I should clarify. This is for spot and stalk hunting a a small tract of woods. The last time I moved slow through this woods, I saw a couple of deer, but they were usually under 10 yards and required a quick shot to get the drop on them. My Ruger SA, left me cocked watching a deer run off. All shots would be 20 yards or less. If I get in a treestand, I'll go back to my Ruger SA in 45 Colt. I'm sure I can hit and kill with it to 50 yards.
