First buck of the year late post

Congrats and great shot. I can shoot a bow deadly out to 60 yards but if I got a gun and the deer is past 300 they could probably do a dance cause they are more than likely safe.

I can see here we have a real winner and special boy at best. Have a great day sir, oh! and go F-yourself. I guess you wouldn't believe I shot a 170" buck with a muzzleloader at 340 yards.
 
Congratulations. That's an amazing shot especially with no exposed turrets. I'd love to know how you did it?

It was actually fairly easy

Considering the rifle I set up for him shoots 1/4 moa
With my hand loads

Rifle sighted in 2.75 @100 yards

Or

PBR 333 yards and at 420 yards 15 inches of drop
He had a cheat sheet


So hold a foot over the back hit him high shoulder

Good rest in shooting house easy


Or on that particular scope you can remove caps
The elevation turret is at 2.75 he could of dialed up

As they are spring loaded to rest once sighted in




But he did not have the data to dial up

Thanks DA for clarifying. A shot like that requires some preparation and a good support. Looks like he had both.

Wow DA, hanks for clarifying as well, as OPs tale seemed unbelievable, but now you explained nicely. a good rest is key. and quick references for bullet drop are essential, as you pointed out, aim 1 foot above shoulder and you will hit on shoulder. good details and awesome set up. I personally would not trust hand loads, so you are a master at your craft. great build.
