R1-Results of first hunt

Just got back from another great, successful whitetail hunt and used the R1 in the field for the 1st time, and all I can say is what a joy. The recoil and accurracy it exhibited on the range is the same that was enjoyed in the field. Nothing but positives.

Shot 5,2- 6 point bucks and 3 does. Had bonus tags and hunting in a party of 5, the mild weather was much nicer than last years temp of -14 below. The water was 2-3 ft. deep to walk thru and deer were not running. Closest shot was 150 yds, with one doe touching 300. Great fun as usual, however probably would have preferred the below 0 temps for the drives over the water. Good luck on your hunt. Can't wait till next year.
