Eddie, I killed my bird Friday at 40 plus steps, and then guided Saturday and let the clients shoot my weatherby. Three died Saturday. All were 35 to 45 yard shots.
Those federals out of the Winchoke sum toy knocked them Stone cold dead. No flopping. The last two, the guy shot two in one shot with my gun. Their heads were riddled with pellet holes.
I'm putting up 140 averages with the sumtoy Winchoke....same as your 500.
