Put them out every 200 yards on the side of road where you can see them from your set up. It is the quickest way to determine if they are in range. If you see them crossing near the third pumpkin you know they are out of range but you also know where to move your stand next time.


Y’all need to practice shooting. With the 7mag I can hold on hair out past 300.


3 pumpkins spaced 200yds apart would be 600yds....
