Name your top two or three whitetail/mulie/blacktail/sitka/coues deer rifles you're going to hunt with first or at all this year - with details such as scope and chosen load. What the heck - throw in speed goats, sheep, and goats too if you hunt them.
Whitetails - here's the blooding order this year (assuming I can keep making the harvests):
--Knight's Original DISC, .50 cal, with 19.5" cut-n-crowned barrel, with Nikon Omega 1.65-5x36mm - with Precision Bullets 195 gr .357 cal "nested sabot" loads (.50=>.357)
--Winchester 70 Coyote S-R 24" in .243 win, with Elite 6500 2.5-16x50mm, with 100 gr PSP-FB handloads
--Lawson / Rem 700 custom 24" in 7mm RSAUM, with Nikon Monarch UCC 3-9x40mm - not sure which ammo yet - some 139/140 load.
That's optimistic. I usually don't get more than 1 or 2, but sometimes do.
As for bows, please go to my current thread on "New Archery Gear for 2014" in this forum to list your archery weapon blooding lineup.
