Well it was just me hunting this morning every one else was busy... but on the bright side I did pretty well the 800x scored 3 kills in about the same number of hours out hunting... lots more to come as the season progresses maybe even a few bow kills

Nice shootin' pretty good accuracy considering you aren't using a scope.

Thanks Jug I can't take to much credit, all shot were around 10-15 yards or closer... but I am fortunate to have been shooting and hunting with airguns (spring pistons in particular) my whole life so I have learned a few ways to get tight groups and good accuracy   -PH
