Title: First blood
Post by: Spike on January 05, 2014, 08:04:59 PM
Got my Sparc Red Dot scope last week. Dad and I sighted it in with 00buckshot and went out new years day. Dad pushed some thickets and I was able to get a shot at one at 45 yards. Dropped him on the run - a button buck.

The next day we went to the creek behind the house for ducks, and I jumped two and got one of them.  Then on the walk back to the house I couldn't resist using the red dot one more time when I saw a squirrel.
Thanks to you, Fos for a real cool gift.

When we skinned out that button buck, there was only one buckshot wound in it.   That OO buck is some nasty stuff!
FOs, Dante has become a terror with that Sparc scope.

Congratulations for putting meat in the freezer!  Nice thing for Fos to make the donation and also nice to see that you are putting it to good use.
