Think I ran 200 yards once![]()
That's a really long shot for open sights.
Good job!
once I get my permit, the rifle I want is going to have iron sights. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it now, but I'ma try and swing it if things change the way I'm planning for. We got a freezer and there is a lot of meat running around the hills here. I haven't hunted, but my expectation based on my offtrail pursuits is that you get very little time to react and things are tight and close in the forest. Intuitive shooting seems like a good way to get things done in this neck of the woods, but I might be wrong. Hopefully I'll be able to report back one way or the other soon(ish)
30-06 is what I have in mind. Our bears are pretty small here, deers too, although there are Roosevelt elk up in the hills in you're lucky

to get going- training, permit, gun, ammo, Elmer J. Fudd hat etc I'm looking at a couple thousand bucks. That new Evenheat cost more than that and ate up a chunk of savings, but it will actually help me develop designs, like DEK2 and DEK3, plus making knife shaped objects that I can sell, which I hope will get me a'huntin within the next year or twoGotta get that oven paid off first
I like the ubiquity of 30-06 ammunition and I've fired one in the distant past and remember it being powerful enough to do what needs done. That T3x Battue Lite is exactly the gun I want, and I want it bad. Make it all the better when I actually can get one- patience often leads to satisfaction, in my experience![]()
