I purchased the Optima V2 LR package with the Konus Pro scope. I like the quality of the glass and it stays set. I set it up to get a bullet drop by ballistics out to 170 yds that was good using on the center reticle. The results were very good as l got less than 1" grouping at 100". Now its...

Good for you! Best of luck! I started by invite from a club member. I was hooked after that. Most times I hunt solo because others are work busy. Club rules currently prevent members from inviting outside immediate family. I already look forward to next season and hope the hatch is good.

I took action against the predators you listed. In addition to turkey killing there was an issue with corn stealing and destruction of equipment. The state issues permits to private landowners which allows us to trap or shoot as many possible to balance critter population. I knocked them down to...

Here in NE Arkansas the flocks are down the past two years. Was normal to see them often in a flock up to 3 dozen. Now if I see any it will less than 6. We had large sleet and ice storms two years prior which had a big impact. This season just ended. I was lucky to have 2 gobblers come to me on...

Thru experiment with less than steady rest I came to my best acceptable shooting using a Caldwell Ledsled II mounted on my custom portable shooting bench. My shooting methods work for all my weapons including ML, crossbow, rifles, and shoot guns off this steady bench. Without this setup it would...

Nitriding steel is steel treated by a highly specialized surface hardening process known as nitriding, which is a heat-treating process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case-hardened surface.

Try this it worked great when I used in on my son's older Optima V1 bore which wasn't stainless. I tried it on my V2 stainless for kicks and it makes the bore sparkle like new money. I first bought to remove rust occurring on my stainless steel refrigerator panel. It worked there also.

Not in your area but my situation calls for 4WD because terrain is hilly/mountain type with creek crossings. Some inclines and mucky places will stuck a 2WD vehicle. 4WD gives the peace of mind that I can and will travel where needed on my lease. My F150 has high and low with ten speed...

With all do respect a sportman should pattern their shotgun, choke, and several loads to fine the combination that performs best. Example 88

I do use windex which is friendly for cleaning no hazard like some options. I tried the tape wrapping but went to thread sealing compound and it works great as I have no blowby or issues removing the plug and cleaning. As for BH209 it's great! Since I went to BH209 all the issues I had before...

I shoot as often as squirrels come in my back yard to prevent them doing damage to my home. An air rifle does the trick about 2x a week. Then with other weapons it varies thru out the year. Since I worked out all the bugs to get acceptable accuracy I am at ease with urge to shoot. My favorite...

Welcome from NE Arkansas! :welcome:

I can't focus either the front or rear sights in any weapon. In case of the pistol I can see well enough to kill with it. I think the best solution for improved results is red dot scope in place of steel steel sites in cases where magnification isn't required.

I hope you will also and more. It blow my mind in summer of 2020 when I found I could shoot bullseyes 🎯 out to 115 yards with my crossbow. Since I have repeated that many times for 100 yards.

My eyes have aged. I use scopes or red dot scopes everywhere except on a steel site pistol. In the last few years better life style has improved my site. My impoved eating habits and exercise helped plus I retired which reduced stress. I use lined bifocals transition in sports frame style for...

Thanks I I serted a recent picture which is green grass. Lol! It was 2 degrees there this morning.

Thanks! It was early November when I took the last shot at a deer with my crossbow. Since then all I did was shoot it at a target occasionally to confirm it was still on at 50 yards. It was about time I finally got another shot and she was great to provide it.

After slow previous two months deer are showing up in pasture and coming to feeder like clock work in larger than expected numbers. Yesterday I was there to check traps and equipment on a very cold hi 20s day. Went I arrived deer were in the pasture about 400 yards away. They stayed there as I...

There has lots of discussion on which sabots for a particular diameter bullet. I suggest you do a search within this site to find the post that good members had charts posted which showed details of bullets and sabots which match up.

Ram rod is stored under the barrel and never impacts accuracy on my Optima V2
