I had a small window of opportunity this morning through Rain, and Wind to Shoot my New TC Hawken, Stainless Green Mountain Barrel Setup (My chosen Deer Hunting Setup for this year) This was the VERY FIRST time i had Ever Shot this Setup, I had NO IDEA if I would even be on the Target Board or Not?
The Rifle, 15/16” TC Hawken Stock (Thanks Willfish4fud ) I mounted a Lyman 57 SML Tang Peep on it. Stainless Green Mountain LRH .45 Cal Barrel (One of Cayuagads Old Barrels) I installed a Lyman 17AHB Globe Front Sight, And will be using a Lee Shaver Fine Bead BPCR insert in the Globe.
The Bullet I chose For this Year, one of my Customs from Accurate Molds #45-412L, Cast of PURE Lead (411-412 Grains)
Target was Setup at a Ranged 100 Yards from the Get go, This shot is Low/right, in the White. I made a Sight Correction, Swabbed the Bore and Reloaded for shot #2, Shot #2 was just low of Dead Center. I then Walked the Target back to a Ranged 205 Yards, I made a Sight adjustment and Took the Shot, it is the Low Shot in the Black. The Black Aiming bull is 8 inches. The farthest shot I could Possibly encounter Where i plan to Deer hunt is 180-200 Yards, This Rig is READY To Hunt
Ranged 205 Yards, Makes an 8” Bull look Small with open sights, But i am Very Comfortable with this Shot
