The same here. I’ve taken deer at 600+ and our local range is 600, but by and far, most are under 200. Once it’s sighted in, I take it out twice in the morning. One shot is all I shoot each time, looking for it to be on target. I want to know it’s repeatable when it’s cold, because that is a true condition during a hunt.
