[QUOTE="Tcox, post: 2816862, member: 10058"] Had an AWESOME experience today. I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancé) today and it went well. Then, this evening I took her hunting. To give a bit of background, she's never been hunting or fishing. She just wasn't around it growing up. She loves shooting, but again wasn't raised around it. I've taken her to the range and got her some experience with the fundamentals. Although she's not shot much precision, I've focused on marksmanship with her. Despite the wind it was pretty nice out. A while before sundown, a nub-buck (thought it was a doe) stepped out. I ranged it at 287 yards. Based on her experience, I didn't favor her taking a shot at that range with the wind conditions, but she really felt confident after several dry-fire attempts. Trusting her, I dialed 4.75 MOA for dope and had her favor for about .75 MOA for wind. After presenting a good broadside target I let her send it. WHACK! Deer down! She was surgical.

She's ready for more! [/QUOTE]
