T3 243 success
« on: December 12, 2011, 03:04:33 AM »
This past Saturday pm, I let my 11 yr daughter use my T3 243, moving up from her Handi 243, as it had a better scope and we expected the deer to come out on the green field late.  As you can see from the pic, she made a good shot at about 50 yds.  The buck had turned and was facing us, so a neat neck shot was made.  Bang Flop.  She really is a believer in those neck shots.  The T3 was shooting my handloads of Sierra 100 gr on 41.7 of RE22, I think.
Overall, another good hunt.  And yes, I am still proud of her.  (This is her third deer this year).
thanks,
Deerandduck

That's great!  Good on your daughter.  I'm a betting that she has bonded with that rifle now....you may be looking for something else.

Yeah, she has taken to that T3.  And after I sell her Handi 243, I will probably use it as an excuse for something  ;)
