I went on a wounded warrior hunt at the Rolling R ranch in Harrison Arkansas this past weekend and had a blast. I used my 500 JRH BFR with 400gn cast boolit at 950 fps.
The first shot was probably 15 yds from a tree stand and I hit him exactly center in the head just below the eyes, so it went down and out without hitting anything important Then he took off running, I could see the first hit so I kept shooting till he was down. I knew he was a small one, but it looked like a great shot to take with the pistol and it should be tender, lol. Next time, I'll go for a shoulder.
My son shot a big Sow with my 30-06 at about 25yds, Win 150gn factory stuff, one shot behind the shoulder and she was down. He's had a great time letting me know his was bigger than mine.

Congratulations to the both of you!! Should eat real well! Nice shooting! Remember that with a handgun, they're all trophies!

Sure are! Even that jukebox you shot that time you were drunk... sorry, I forgot not to talk about that.

Wonderful Glenn. I love the grin on your boy's face.
Then to be on a wounded warrior hunt----thank you so much.

Dang, I didn't know you knew about this.....

Congrats. And 400 gr in the head but not hitting anything vital works just the same if one happens to be using a 416 rem at 2400 fps on a javalina. Even at 15 yards. I got a chuckle at how close our stories are.
