Default when I get shot we will know that it wasn't an accident...

You know, I get that a lot! I think I meet the state requirements for myself and everyone else I hunt with! I have a parka with a small orange vest pinned to it, but I always have this underneath in case I get hot. I don't like having to screw with that vest if I take the parka off.

As far as the SST's go, I have always had that issue and until this deer I'd used 100gr T7 pellets with the SST's/Shockwaves. But so far I've never had one run more than 75y with an SST hole in it except for one that was clearly my fault. I made a *much* less-than-perfect shot and we never found the first drop of blood.

It's hard to change from something that groups so tight and kills deer so dead, but now that my BH209 issues are in check I think I will move on to finding a better performing yet equally as accurate bullet.
