Savage 10ML ii long range session

[bellerivercrossbowhunter]

Checked my savage 10MLii zero yesterday. dead center and 1.5" high at 100yards. Perfect!

Just for fun I moved the target out to 200yards to see what the bullet drop would be. It dropped 12".

I may upgrade my scope to a bullet drop reticle someday or just keep my shots under 100yards...

over the years what would you say your average shot distance in during the controlled week?
I know you knocked down some monsters, just curious

Average is around 30yards so I'm ok with this... lol

haha thats so funny cuz I looked at my controlled kills with my savage 20 gauge and avg was same like 30-55 yards..
I know youve knocked down some brutes too over the years.. cool to know you had em in nice and close (but I think you answered your question on if you need to upgrade that scope haha)

Those 10 ML's are amazing. I love mine. Took a bull moose with one shot at 160 yards and another bull at 130 yards. They hit hard and are very accurate.

My range time paid off with the Savage 10mlii.

Buck and a doe down last week party hunting with the group.

Both shot at 150 yards.

The .300gr Bullet hit exactly where i aimed. A long pike for this bow hunter... lol

The Savage 10mlii is the real deal!

I think(my opinion)that those drop comp reticles are way to busy.
Leading to potential misjudgment of which Dot to choose ,or overconfidence.
They have a place out West-but in our bush hunting,they are overkill.

You know your bullet drop,and your shots are overall below 100 y.
Why not just hold over for anything further then 100 y?

You are a seasoned bowhunter-and likley able to judge distances quite accurately...so should not be an issue deciding when to aim for the top of the back.
