Yep, Just be aware of your bullet drop past 100 yds. Typically store/factory ammo is zero drop at 100yds but starts dropping past that...just read your box to compensate for bullet drop.

My wife shot a buck last season at 110yds spine shot and it dropped. she had to take another shot to finish it off. but it was well within the kill range. 200yds I prob wouldnt take a shot with a 30-30....thats just me though.
