doubled with 209x50!!!!
« on: November 28, 2006, 09:09:09 AM »
Got a true double with my 209x50 this year.  Shot my doe early in the morning and was waiting in my stand when i looked up the hill and two 'yotes were standing there.  I got my encore up and ready.  The yotes were nipping at each other and playing a bit.  As I elevated my crosshairs and steadied for the shot, one walked behind the other.  At the shot, one yote dropped in his tracks.  About 2 seconds later the other yote fell over.  To say the least I was surprised.  I've tried for a 2 for 1 before, but never had any luck.  Always got the front yote, but didn't get penetration or trajectory was altered after passthrough of first animal.  When I got to where they fell, they both had blood on them at the shoulder/neck junction.  The distance from my stand to the yotes was a lasered 185yds.  No wind to worry about that morning, just bullet drop.  I had elevated about 8 inches or so over the yotes and the bullet fell exactly where I wanted it.  209x50 has always been a great shooter.  2 pyrodex pellets, hornady sabot, hornady 240 xtp.  Less than 1 1/4 at 100 yards.

Sounds like a blast you had. Congrats on the doe and the double.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
