RE: How confident with your rifle...
 

i hunt with a rifle for 2-3 years and buy another and shelf the one i just finished using i dont know why mabey im just a gun nut. i have been hunting for 25 years and have missed a few , like most other hunters . but it was human error not. my rifle which was at fault .any gun i hunt with is an extension of myself and i am highly confident in my firearm :)

RE: How confident with your rifle...
 

Confident? Well yeah but only after multiple trips to the range and after finding the right ammo. Proud to say I haven't missed yet but I'm sure it will happen some day if I continiue to hunt. You know everyone talks about their first deer but I think the first miss or unrecovered deer would really work me over. So I prepare, keep the gun clean, keep in mind my capabilities, and practice practice practice.
