I know I don't have my Encore anymore but I had to post this. Went out this evening took groundhog #27 at 278 yards missed one at 311 yards and one twice at 290 yards they just wouldn't stand up. While hunting I looked to my left and a coyote came out at a run whistled and it stoped at 226 yards I took him this is my first coyote, first time I've ever shot at one. So I guess I'm just proud of my first coyote kill.

I saw one directly behind my house last year but was nowhere near a gun. Nice shot!

Looks like a good day in the field.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Congratulations on the coyote, very nice. That is a nice coat for the middle of summer.
