RE: Team 1 Buck Snipers
Hey Jbra, I hope you don't mind that I told everyone here about your deer. I was just pretty excited that someone got one in the other contest. Again congrats for that and I can't wait to see a picture.
Oh and you gotta love that 7mm. My son uses one. I have in the past but it just kicks too much for me. We reload so they get pretty heavy. I use the trusty 30-06. Do you reload for yours. We use Hornaday 162 grain with cci 250 mag primers and 68 grains of IMR 4831. I know the reloading manual states 60 to 61 as max but we worked out way up to this slowly until the gun started to loose control. Then we backed off a couple. We get about 3100fps with that load. Wish I could get my bow to go that fast.

RE: Team 1 Buck Snipers
I cant help it, Im addicted to bowhunting. My dad has not picked up his new bow yet, so he told me I could fill his tag, But it has to be a biggun. So I am going to be patient now. Than when rifle comes along I will do the same.

RE: Team 1 Buck Snipers
MK-M-GOBL - Finally get a chance to check in! Sorry everyone for being last one here to check in. I'll be hunting NH, VT, MD and WV this year. I signed up at the last minute so I need to find the general rules for the contest. I've got a good feeling here in NH this year and as always a great feeling for MD. Good luck to all...............MK-M-GRUNT
