Title: Hunting with a 610
Post by: dougx on June 27 2012 08:35:13 AM MDT
I've been carrying my 5'' 610 for 2 yrs but all I've got was a tree.It stepped in front of my bullet on the way to a doe.Maybe this year it'll draw blood.

What were you hunting down in central/south America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratea_exorrhiza)?

;D

I hate it when something screws up a shot.

Hey Doug, are you using iron sights or scope?

Yeah, those scoped handguns can get heavy, especially without a sling or good holster of some kind.

Personally, I think anyone, who has hunted deer for years, has their share of trees jumping in the bullets path. Have had a few myself. Not positive I've taken tree with a handgun, but am positive, of taking them with an arrow, and muzzle loader ball! ;D

I have had several jump right in front of arrows flung from my longbow. I ma nto sure what hurts more the miss or the loud "THUNK" or the time to dig the broadhead outta the tree. :o

I really like the 610 how is the felt recoil with the S&W?

It's an easy-shooting revolver, even with full-house 200-grain JHP Double Tap ammunition. It's a real performer on game out to 100-110 yards.
