[QUOTE="MNBuck, post: 1099436, member: 91217"] I know I am a decent shot at rifle and. A great shot with shotgun. With my marlin model 80 with a scope I can shoot gophers head out to about 75 yards no joke! With my Remington 597 I can accomplish almost the same thing but the trigger is much stiffer so I leave it as irons and shoot black birds and gopher at 50yards and under. I seriously have no doubt that I am capable of shooting accurately, but, I feel as though it's more of a mind game about recoil right before you shoot. To the last poster ( sorry I didn't look at your poster name before I typed this) I am using a 20ga riffled barrel shotgun shooting factory sabot rounds. And as many of you know sabots are very picky and VERY EXPENSIVE! The accutips are $3 a round. So, I might have to try out some different loads such as the federal vital- shok and maybe some of winchesters offerings.... I am disappointed in my ability to not be consistent as I did my homework before purchasing this gun and many state it shoots 2" groups at 200yards. Obviously this is from a bench and most likely using a lead sled. So basically what it boils down too is how accurately do I need to be to shoot to ethically kill a deer at that distance? Also, I will be getting around to shooting some more to see if I was off that day or what but it had been so muggy here in Minnesota that it isn't fun going out and then coming back hoping your gun isn't orange when you pull it out of the case :D . Anyways any help is always appreciated! Thanks, MNBuck. [/QUOTE]
