What a shot!

[Russ D]

My dad shot a huge doe this morning with the 20 gauge 870 scoped with a Millet DMS-1, I set up for him. I walked it off. 170 yards. Perfect shot broke both shoulders and took out the heart. It was from a stand in a seated position with his elbow on his knee. I guess all that extra practice I talk him into paid off.

It was just a doe so I didn't snap any. Interestingly enough the bullet did not penetrate through both sides of the deer.

That really is a great shot, I'll be over for my venison jerky in a day or two.....

You can have all the venison you want, but turning it into jerky is up to you.

So the bullet expended all it's energy inside? Sweet. 170yds with a 20 ga., got to get mine back out and working. A great shot, I'm more jealous than you'd believe.

Wow. Seriously. I don't even think I could do that with a laser beam.

Great shot. Gotta love a humane, long distance hunt like that.

Good job Dad!

That is an awesome shot ! You rarely hear of someone taking a deer at that yardage with a shotgun , especially a 20 gauge.

The new sabot loads out of the rifled barrels are more than capable way out there. They probably shoot flatter than most of the old buffalo guns like the 45-70.

Terrific shot, Dad!

Way to go - heck of a shot with a slug gun.

 

[davelenard]

[tdt91]

[BlackBart]

Slugs are true deerslayers more spectacular than bullets IMO and yes, great shot!

 

[honda53s]

I would of never thought a 20 guage could go that distance unless you lobbed the bullet.lol

You could never make a shot like this without knowing your holdovers. He has spent many hours at the range with this set up getting familar with the holdovers according to the reticle.
