Another Bigger Boar

It is PW season on the MA I hunt so I took my CVA Optima pistol. About 4 pm I heard something sloshing through the water. Here comes this big black hog hobbling on one front leg. At 25 yards I shot him in the neck and he fell over. He was breathing hard and then he rolled up on his belly. I shot him again between the shoulders. He fell over again and after a few minutes got up on his hind legs. I got down from my stand and eased toward him. He saw me and started growling so I made sure to keep a tree between me and him. At about 20 feet I put the dot between his eyes and that was all it took. He was one mean tough old boar.

Great story. I love my CVA Optima pistol.

Tough sucker.

Congrats!

Good on ya. They can be tough to kill.

Congrats!

Congrats. What load are you using?

I use 2 Triple Seven 50 pellets and a TC Shockwave 240. The pistol is zeroed at 50 yards.

I just posted pictures of my kills this season on the Braggin Board. I wonder how far the Optima pistol will shoot accurately?

From some of the groups I've seen shot by others I would say much farther than most think. Only way to tell is get out and shoot it. For mine with me shooting it's about a hundred yards.

I have only tried the 2 Triple 7 50 pellets with the Shockwave 240. It is dead on to 50 yards. In the swamps that I hunt a longer shot is rare and most are around 25. What powder and bullet does one use to get an accurate shot up to 100 yards?

I'd be a bit surprised if the load you have right there wouldn't shoot well @ 100.

Billyb, zero your current load 2" high at 50 yards and you've got a 100 yard load.

Great boar!

Absolutely beautiful boar with super size teeth.... Good shootin Billy........
