Couldn't decide where to post this, both calling and shooting, so here it went

How I celebrate the 4th.
Get up at 3 AM, drive in the dark, dodge the mud holes, And go calling.
Very good day. We went the back way into our core hunting area.
Called a lot of state land. Shot 4 coyotes and saw
another 8.
Three were more work than worth so no pictures.
One was an easy walk so I took his pic.

At noon we shot a new Pdog town till two.
Back to town for BBQ and Fireworks.
THAT'S a 4th celebration...

Then the 5th was for 8mm practice more 500-yard work.
I'm liking this 8mm thing
8mm RM 200 TSX Barnes 3200 fps.
500 yards, shooting over my hunting pack laying on the ground.
A breeze to the left that is a 3" group.
A life-sized deer target.

I'm using the second "Hash" mark on my droptine 4/12x14 Burris scope.
When I find a drive-up place for a 700-yard target I'll try the 3rd and 4th hash.
:tiphat:


 
Is the red dot your aiming point?
If so, why so high? Just curious. I know high shoulder shots are effective. Most people i know opt for a heart aim.

Good group at that distance.

Aim point yes but not necessarily for the picture of the deer. It's more the middle of the target board. At that range, I wanted to make sure I HIT the target then hit the deer...
