First deer falls to the prohunter
« on: November 17, 2006, 04:58:10 PM »
Went out on the first day of season. Wife shot a half rack,4 points on the left side,none on the right side. We were standing by my stand and the buck came across a bean field. I asked her if she wanted to shoot it,and handed her my prohunter. I lazer ranged him at 163yds,told her to aim mid way on his body,right behind his leg. At the shot he bucked and ran around 30yds. Then he fell over. The bullet hit him,about two inches lower than she held on him right through the boiler room! This is also the first shock wave that I've had pass through with! Nice little clean hole on the entrance wound,and about golf ball size on the exit wound. Now all she talks about is getting herself a prohunter :(

Congrats!

Being such a nice, concerned husband is now going to cost you several hundred more dollars. :D 
But it sounds like it may be worth it - having secured a new hunting partner that can cook. ;D
My wife won't shoot anything bigger than a .22 Smith & Wesson.::)

That is a great hunting story.
Tell your wife that she is one hell of a good shot!

Thank's guys! Yup! It's gonna cost me now,for sure! That load really shoots well in the prohunter,and stays around 1.2 inches at 100yds(might be better/with someone else shooting) ;D
