[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 992677, member: 81139"] I think she's gonna be a fine shooter. I actually got out to the range today to verify load, zero, and chrono. Getting 2237 fps out of her though I only used 5 rounds to chrono with the magneto speed... I got 3 out of those 5 that were within 3 fps of each other... The other 2 not so great... 40 fps difference. However, I only shot 3 bullets to confirm zero and this is what she did. Just a little under an inch at 100... But it should be perfect for my needs. I'm not match champion that's for sure! gun) [ATTACH]38897.vB[/ATTACH] The reason for the pistol is that my little brother has stage 5 renal failure and has a shunt going through the right side of his chest into his heart, so he's unable to shoot a rifle. He gets dialysis 3 times a week and he said that if the tubes there get bumped at all... It's like someone kicked him in the family jewels. This is the first time either of us drew for deer...(group draw), so I wanted to find a way for him to go. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Thanks for all the support guys. I'm chomping at the bit to go... So is my brother. He's thanked me a few times for thinking of a way that he could go on this hunt and not just be a spotter. 2 weeks and counting! [/QUOTE]
