Good stuff boys,

Don't forget us fair weather men from the south on meeting for prairie dogs!

lol - uh huh mike you should see the sour faces when we whip those $5,000 over and under teams with our camo guns!

My son wins top individual more than he looses with no mulligans shooting a vinci i bought him when he was 16, he's 27 now and u can barely see the max4 camo on it he uses it for everything. First year they laughed, now it's like oh shit they are in our flight! LOL

All for the kids - we have fun with it.



 

that's smokin!

Been a minute boys with holidays and all - hope everyone had a great thanksgiving week/weekend!

Derek went home today at 5pm, he's staying with his mother. Excited he is finally home, we begin the journey for a few more weeks of healing and prepare for his prosthetic fitting which they said 6 weeks in the beginning so we have another 4-5 weeks. 

Appreciate the continued prayers as he embarks on this journey;

I would bet with many guys running cans a missed animal isn't startled much even without a can at that distance unless you blowing a cannon with a brake! They probably jump and trot and stop and look to see what just impacted the ground nearby. Shooting nuisance animals would be my only attempt at such distance.

agreed, i bet that's a shooter. I've I didn't have two mark v's in CM I would buy this one!

Good luck i'll ask around with the kids and see if we can drum up some interest;

Thanks again guys, today he's off the drip meds and onto oral meds making the transition. You can tell it's a bit more struggle, but he's finding his grit and that makes me more proud as a dad. Sometimes we don't get to choose the path, but rather how we chose to venture down the path chosen. My life with 6 kids has been a rollercoaster and while it may exhaust most people, we don't know it any other way. God has a plan and we will embrace it.

Danno lol - ya it was kinda funny while my choice of weapon was based on the LW carry and knockdown power. I told my brother next season I'll bring a short-range rifle and long-range rifle. It was a tad on the long side flinging around and my brother said the hit sounded as loud as the shot! LOL - I would imagine so that 130 grain bullet making impact around 3300FPS Kinda brought a cannon to a rock fight, but wby did me proud. I've grown fond of that 6.5 caliber it sure hits hard!

Oscar anytime my friend, anytime and the camp fire stories would be awesome to share with you! I have our annual thanksgiving week duck hunt coming up and now that derek is doing much better the family insists that I go. This will be our 8th year with me only missing the year I was down for covid and getting out of the hospital the week of that hunt. I will be up in 224's country monday evening till wednesday morning hunting birds with my old baseball dad buddies and we will ring in the new year in western oklahoma on a duck/goose/quail hunt.

some interesting data on the subject

According to this it shows to be in between the 6.5-300 (then 26 nosler as expected) then 6.5rpm outperforms the 264win/6.5prc as far as bullet drop.

I would say given a long-range platform and proper optics wouldn't be a bad choice. On my hunting platform in my backcountry i wouldn't hesitate 5-600 yards on bullet performance as long as I felt confident in the situation. I have a BC 6.5-300 and 6.5rpm for the wife both are extremely accurate.
