Well finally had a chance to get the Apex .358 out in the woods and brake her in before shipping her out to the owner. Went out thus morning and got in the blind around 7 am. and from the pics I had gotten in my camera I knew they would not be moving until around 7:41 to 12 pm. Sat done and waited. Around 8 am. I saw the first one which was out about 190 yrds, I thought it was a doe, but found out later that i was a small buck. Any way I put the crosshairs on its shoulder and pull the trigger, and down it went. I decided to just reload and seat and wait, and sure enough, about 30 minutes later the doe showed up. It just stood there facing me at about 160. It never turn broad side, just kept looking in my direction, so I put the cross hairs on its just and it was also a bang/flop deal. Love this .358. No recoil, it is a tact driver, and the 200 gr. TTSX is a mean little bullet. Well my morning was great, and I'm happy. Here are the pics of both deer.
