    Beginner Question - What distances do you practice at?

    That's encouraging to hear. If I do too poorly I'll just blame the scope. 😄 And I really don't have a plan for wind. Just try to shoot more and see what happens.

    Beginner Question - What distances do you practice at?

    Thanks all for the advice. I assumed as much but sounds like I really need to shell out the extra cash to only shoot the ammo I'll hunt with. Also really like the idea of trying a 500yd shot at an 8 inch plate first thing. If I can't hit that it's too far for hunting.

    Women and baby brain. What are your theories?

    I've found that if I specifically know I'm going to be the one getting up with the baby that night, I'll wake up at the slightest noise. But if I know my wife will get up I'll sleep through the whole thing. I think some of it just comes down to what you're expected to do.

Have a MIL Dot scope and downloaded Hornady's ballistic calculator app. My question is how many distances do you shoot at when you are practicing? Do you shoot a group at one or two hundred yards, then again at five hundred and call it...

    Live in Western Washington, hunt mule deer in Eastern Washington. Have been less and less successful over the last decade and finally doing some reading and research on techniques. Wandering through the woods hoping to stumble across something doesn't cut it anymore. I've read a lot of great...

    Recommendations for a 2 person canoe or kayak

    I've paddled a small handful of canoes and the Clipper Tripper is my favorite as far as tracking and weight go. Haven't paddled a Wenonah but I hear they're pretty equal to the Clipper. If you're going to be in any rough windy open water or rivers I would lean toward a kayak for the stability...
