Here is a neat looking 7 pointer I shot this morning. I grunted a few times and heard footsteps in the leaves coming up the ridge behind me. He was grunting and in a fast paced walk with a place to be so when he stepped clear of some trees I took the shot and did not lead him enough. I hit him high in the back but the Barnes did it's job, he ran about 70 yards and piled up.  |

He was right at 100 yards. I really got lucky, off hand no rest and 30ft up. I also shot him right handed which is not my preferred hand.

Thanks! No I am shooting the Barnes straight from the box. I might try that after season to see what happens, I am already getting 1moa. I was getting 2575 with a duplex load 7/53.3 of 5744/4198 w/smooth blue sabots.
