What I am most proud of are the well placed shots. On the crossbow 6pt the pic shows the exit , the entrance was right behind the shoulder. The 8pt was taken with his new rifle. It is a rem700 bought for me by my dad used in 1982. Originally in 243. Through my younger brothers and all our kids the rifle finally gave up it's barrel to wear. I put a new 6.5 creed on it because the ammo is easy to find (brass is free) and cheaper than 308 around here. New stock, trigger tech, pillar bedded and a nice TRIJICON made a 1/4" shooter. We are loading the 147ELDM and 130. This one was with the 147 at 140yrds. Explosive.... Would not push this round any faster at deer sized animals. 2850 is almost too much. Amazing knockdown and drt.

I have several Trij scopes and have never had one let me down. Optics planet has a sale going on where they are 60% off. The one pictured is a 3-18x50. I like the 2x10x56 for my brush gun. It is dang near night vision

Tell your son he did a great job with both weapons. What bottom metal/mag did you use on the 700?

That’s a pretty good haul there.

Tell us about your crossbow set up. Bolt using a fixed blade or mechanical broad head?

Sorry so late I didn't see the question until someone pointed it out to me. I use the RAGE mechanical in all our crossbows and compounds. I have never had one fail and they kill quickly.
