Unsophisticated but highly effective. I shoot 'em on the ground and out of the trees too, call me all the names you want...

7 white tail, 3 hogs and a black bear all with my Tika T3 30-06

My Marlin Model 60 is a nasty grouse gun. mtmuley

I'd been using my Model 60 for years, but I picked up a Henry Small Game with the Skinner peep sight and that's the go-to now...

Turkey- 12 ga 3" #5 shot (25yds)
Grouse- Arrow (15 yds)
WT Doe- Arrow (32 yds)
WT Doe- .50 cal inline w/45 cal pistol bullet/sabot (75 yds)
WT Buck- Arrow (30 yds)
WT Doe- 35 Remington 200 gr Hornady Leverevolution (5 yds)
WT Doe- 7mm Rem Mag 160 gr Nos. Partition (215 yds)
Coyote- 30-06 165 gr Nos. Partiton (325 yds)

Few things I'm changing for this year is ditching the Sevr broadheads, trying to find a bullet/powder combo for my 7RM that doesn't destroy meat, and getting my 223 or 22-250 dialed in so I can stop shooting coyotes with big game caliber rifles.

Bull elk - 7 mag 168 Berger VLD hunter
Muley buck - same combo.

Both of them were under 100 yard shots this year and part of me wishes I'd have taken my .30-30 Marlin with open sights. But if I'd have done that they'd have been 400 yard shots
