Seafire,
That is a lot of gut piles!
I hope the 32 Vmax at 3,300 fps from an 18 pound gun doesn't wear me out.
awwww... you're man enough to handle it..... especially by Californian standards...
only way that is going to wear you out, if hauling that 18 pounds all over the place, unless your shooting bench is the hood of a pick up....
1975 to like 1987 Chevy Pick ups and Suburbans are ideal.... they have a hood that is the size and as flat as a billiard table....
Limit your shots to a 100 to 150 yds and that 32 gr V Max is really going to turn a sage rat into Chunky Tomato Soup....
Was just out about 10 days ago over by K Falls.... most I've ever had, but I had SEVEN bald eagles in waiting on tree limbs and water wheels, waiting for dinner...
As soon as I hit one of those little grass munchers, and it exploded... I had eagles catching them in mid air, and scarfing them down before one of the other eagles got to the little dearly departed....
that was with a 223 and a 40 V Max, with 11 grains of Blue dot, and I kept my shots to 150 yds and under...
must have been some hungry eagles... I've never seen that many watching over my shooting area... I've had up to 5 frequently, but this was the first time I've ever seen over 5 at one time in competition for Dinner time....
