I’m thinking it’s a good thing that big pigs like that bear can’t climb trees!

Happy birthday Don and many more. We're all waiting to see you with one of those monster bucks.

Mr Magill! Thank you! What a pleasure to see you post on the forum!

You'll be in my thoughts until you pull out of this messy adventure! I'm sure you'll do just fine and you'll be back at it soon!

Congratulations! It’s great to see the low poundage bows do damage!

Thank you everyone!

It’s a daunting job and i you did good!

Happy birthday Jeff! Have a gooder!

I lost sight of the speed of the Magair. I’m wondering if he cau use the 40 as his 30? Something like that could work. Ignore the numbers in the scope and treat the circles as if they are 5 yard increments instead of 10. That would make it a 20-60 scope instead of 20-100 which is more reasonable fo...

Should I be using those in my Savage 10MLii? :) It is supposed to create a better seal, stop damage to the base of the wad and reduce deformation of the bullet. Jeff, if you want an accurate bullet, look at the 260 gr, 40 caliber Dead Center bullet. I’m going to stop using them because they blow up...

That's interesting....maybe I'll have to give that a try too.

Apparently, the hotter the load, the greater the benefit.

Random acts of kindness……. Of only we could get more people doing kind things for others the world would be a better place.
Well done!🫡

Thank you for the help everyone. I found a place in Ontario. Pretty interesting that wads are rarely used under a sabot or ball but anyone who shoots a lot and tries it notices an increase of accuracy.

I think you're running into the primary complaint I have for many of the variable power crossbow scopes on the market. Most of them aren't made for the speeds of our hunting arrows. The Overwatch bottoms out at 300fps, like many others. With a 425gr arrow, I'm guessing your arrow is flying somewher...

The arrow weight and resulting speeds effect the scope settings so you cannot rely on those numbers on the "speed ring". Zero the scope at 20 yards with the center crosshairs. Ignore the numbers on the speed ring. Next set up 2 targets, one on top of the other and have an aiming point like...

What weight arrow are you using and can you zero the scope at 20 yards. Can you provide a link to the scope you're using?
