Pistol Hunting?

[jchunter62]

Anyone into the pistol hunting scene? Got a ruger 44 mag super blackhawk for some short range only areas? Looking at a Leupold EER 4x or 2-7 to put on top

Only weapon of my top 5 I haven't killed a deer with. Rifle, muzzleloader, shotgun, bow. Might try this year.

That weapon should do the job.

My grandpa gave me his Ruger Blackhawk 44 Mag with a 7.5” barrel that I’m planning on taking out this year. Rumor has it that he used to be able to consistently shoot paper plates with it at 100 yards. I haven’t had much practice time with it yet so I’ll probably limit myself to 50 but would like to see if there’s any truth in the rumors.

This is very doable. It's not easy, and your grandfather would have been a hell of a shot. But it's absolutely something you can do consistently, with enough time in dry-fire and live-fire. If you want to get yourself up to that point, it'd be a good idea to start with downloaded .44 Special and just learn to enjoy the gun without it beating on you, and just plan on putting a ton of time and ammo into it. But yes though - paper plates at 100yds is absolutely achievable.

does an AR pistol count?
