I hunted with a black one last year. Killed a bird at 52 yards with Federal 3rd Degree (it was all I could find locally). I thought the bird was closer. I’ve got a Mossy Oak Bottomland version this year. One thing I’ve noticed. The factory recoil pad is hard as a brick! I’m gonna upgrade with a Limbsaver pad.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:
“The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”
