huntingvet,
Being able to shoot a whitetail out to 300 yards is nothing to scoff at! That's good shooting anywhere. Considering the type of hunting the majority of people do with an "out of the box" rifle with factory ammo, etc. It's quite an accomplishment to be able to make that shot. One thing that everyone needs to understand is the amount of time and effort that goes into hunting this way. Everything has to be right and you can't wait until the day before season to shoot your gun off the truck hood and be able to do it. BUT, anyone who is willing to put in the time, invest in the proper equipment, and fine tune everything can do this.

We started out just trying to stretch out our varmint hunting kills and ran a lot of rounds down barrels prior to hunting deer. I will tell you this though, a deer is a might bigger target than a ground hog at the same distance. Shooting small targets gives you unbelievable confidence in being able to make the shot on a deer. If you're ever out this way, let us know we're always looking for a new hunting partner.
