officially joined the club last weekend - 11/29/14 03:09 PM
Shot my first deer, a beautiful and fat axis doe, followed by a white tail doe later in the day.
Rifle is a Howa 1500 in 7mm RM, Leopold vxiii scope, using 150 gr nosler partitions in front of 61gr of imr4350. ~3200fps.
Was aiming for a high shoulder shot, but with all the excitement, I yanked the shot to hell but got lucky and made a spinal cord shot at the base of the neck. 150yrd shot.
Great result (she was dead before she hit the floor) but a poor shot that I learned from. I took the wt doe with a perfect double lung shot that hit my poa exactly in the afternoon.
