But that should not pose a problem if you have a good rest at your stand sight.
Good luck to you.
I can't remember the last time I shot my Omega???? I've been shooting my GPR soley because it is just great fun to shoot. I've got pie plate accuracy at 100 yds off the bench and two inch 50 yd groups(using sticks or a rest). I'm ready for him, if he will appear when I'm there!!!
Season opened today and I was there a'waiting..... but he didn't show today.
