New Scope

Last night I went to Gander Mountain and had my Nikon scope put on my Remington 750 and also had it bore sighted. I used Leupold mounts to secure it to the rifle. The gunsmith at Gander Mountain did a fantastic job and I believe this scope will bring years of service.

I have never used a Nikon scope before, but this particular 3x9 50mm objective received good reviews and for the purchase price I don't believe I could go wrong.

I also purchased some shells, Remington 150 grain express core lokt, PSP. This should definitely do the job on whitetails in Missouri this fall. I am really looking forward to taking this rifle out to the range and seeing how it will group.

The plan is to sight it in at 1 1/4 inches high at 100 yards. I am planning on a maximum shot range of 200 yards, so I should be good to go if it all works out.

Now I am thinking about what backup rifle to take. It's between a 243 caliber and a 30-06 caliber... any ideas which would be better? I am really trying to minimize recoil but have sufficient knockdown power. That's why my first choice is the 270 semi automatic.

What type of rifle set up are you using?

New Semi Automatic Rifle

Last night I purchased a new Remington 750 Woodmaster, chambered for 270 Caliber. Growing up I was always a fan of the Remington 270 BDL, I believe it is one of the flattest most accurate shooting rifles on the market. It was my favorite rifle by far.

The problem for me was my 270 BDL was a bolt action, leaving me with only one shot since I am unable to independently work the action. So last night I traded my longtime 270 on the new semi automatic model.

Using the sip and puff trigger-adapter I will be able to have four quick shots if need be. I need to put my Nikon scope on it this week, get it bore sited and dialed in before November!

Rage Broadheads

I use Rage two blade 100 grain broadheads and they rock ! Using these heads I was able to take two trophy whitetails (8 pt and Doe) in Pa last year. I am using them again this year and I hope to get a shot at Bullwinkle...

Thanks Elusion Camo

I have been emiling Lee the owner of Elusion Camo about the difficulties getting back into the woods as a hunter with a spinal cord injury.

He took it upon himself to design a camouflage poncho with accessories that will cover both myself and my action trackchair. I should have the completed design very soon for my September crossbow hunt.

This is just one of the things I have going on right now in regard to hunting. When the package arrives from Elusion Camo, I will post pictures, you may have to look closely to find me! Yes, its that good.

Here is a company that definitely cares about all hunters including those with disabilities! Thank you so much Lee and all your team members for making camouflage accessible for everyone not just the able-bodied.

Shooting In your Crossbow

Here are a few tips when you zero in your crossbow. If you would like to add any additions please feel free to do so.

1. Number your bolts (arrows). Believe me every arrow is different and you may occasionally get a flyer or outlander.

2. Start shooting at a close distance (10 yards) from a steady rest. When you group 3 bolts tight, move to 20 yards.

3. On a crossbow scope, 20 clicks equal 1 inch at 20 yards... yes I know it sounds like a lot but that's what it is.

4. Buy yourself a good bag target capable of stopping today's high-powered crossbows. They also make it very easy to remove the bolt, 3 D deer targets are extremely difficult to pull the bolt out of. Be sure of your background and be safe.

5. On a graduated crossbow scope, each line down represents approximately 10 yards. The first crosshair should be sited in at 20 yards, then 30 ect. Write down the exact yardage for your particular bow, the second line may be 28 yards not 30. Tape this chart onto your stock for quick reference when hunting.

Shoot as much as your schedule allows before the season, you owe it to the game and to yourself so that when Bullwinkle approaches you can close the deal!
