I guess I should have left the 20 gauge at home and continued using the CVA. I killed 2 deer with it over the last 8 days and MAN, what damage Lightfelds do. 1 went 70 yards after a double lung hit and left a blood trail you could have tracked from a plane. The other piled up 20 yards away. Again, blood trail was amazing.
I, like most should, don't throw lead around hoping to hit something. When I pull the trigger, it's on a weapon with a scope on it that I have shot and am confident will kill the target. I don't intend to shoot more than once! If there is a question, don't pull the trigger.
I have killed 5-6 deer with my .50 CVA and some went bang-flop, some ran a few yards, but i recovered them all. None had a blood trail anything close to the 20 gauge!
