I'm really excited as this will be my first time going big game hunting
My stepdad asked me if i would like to deer hunt with him this year. It's being years since i hunted at all and i have never hunted deer. I think it will be fun even if i just sit in the woods awhile, but who knows , I may get lucky. lol

Not having shot a gun in years i was a little concerned.
I got up planning to shot a little today but when I looked out the window I was suprised to see a lot of rain. |
So I settled in and drank a little coffee and waited.
I got a bit to eat and watched out the window awhile, we had three and a half inches in just a few hours. Quite a downpour there for a bit. |

But finally the rain stopped and the sun came out.
leaving the gun range very muddy. So i just grabbed my rubber boots and said "what the heck" it was really humid and soon i was soaked in sweat, kinda felt good to be out and doing something. |
The bench was still wet
but I got out the gear and soon I was set up and ready.

A 100 yards to impact
Hoping to get the scope set for me, with the .243 Remington I need tight groups to show me how to correct. I will shoot three rounds then check the target , then three more walking downrange after each set to look at their landings. |
The first round kinda caught me by surprise to find how light the trigger was
but after the first three shots , i knew i like this gun. It's my mothers, but she hasn't hunted in years, the stock was cut to fit her arm lenght and it felt good to me because i am just a little taller than she is, it fit me well

Happy with my first time out , i shot 4 sets of three
with nine rounds in the center orange, seven of which can be covered with a quater, and the other three landing just in the outside black all 12 would put meat in the freezer at a 100 yards |
