lol 300 yards, that's spitting distance for our hunting rifles. We take shots around the 800 yard range when we're deer hunting.Quote:

That's exhilarating b/c if the bear gets mad and decides to attack where you're at... let's just say they can climb trees... really fast. :PQuote:

I certainly wouldn't take any 300 yard chances with a muzzle-loader nor 800 yard chances with a deer rifle when i'm hunting. Just a thought.

anyone else here manly enough to own recurves + use them for hunting?
*if you do not own a recurve, but own a compound, do not reply. also no cross bows.
Tried a 1911 today, firing .45 ACP hollowpoints. Handled nicely, felt about as 'right' as any handgun could. I didn't shoot as accurately as the P85 but I shot more consistently - as far as I can tell, only two rounds landed outside the target area, and not by much. The rest were dispersed pretty evenly within it. Maybe not the most accurate of handguns, but certainly the nicest I've shot so far. It feels good and solid, the controls make sense, the sights are adequate, it has a lot of power but considerably tame recoil at the same time, and it's pretty reliable.
I've always been pretty fond of the 1911 (in fact I have a tendency to lord it over every other handgun ever made), and it's proven my faith was not misplaced. Without a doubt the first priority on my wishlist should I get myself a pistol license.
In other news, my post-war, never-fired, absolute-fucking-mint No.4 Mk.I (with sling and spike bayonet) should be on the way soon! For real this time! :neckbeard:
That's not the point. You said accurate. You didn't accurate at 700 yards. Muzzle loaders aren't made and don't need to be made to be accurate at 700 yards. It's the same Idea of a pistol not being accurate at 700 yards.Quote:
