paul23 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 hey yall just wanted to say that those winchester platinum tips shot nice out of my encore yesterday afternoon. Shot a nice 8 point thats on its way to the taxidermist shop from 159 yards. Put the crosshairs on its back and found 3 holes thru the both lungs and a hole thru the liver. Do they usually fragment like this. He ended up wobbling about 20 yards before laying down for good. I had a steady stick to get a nice rest out of my treestand with. It's my first kill with my muzzleloader since buying it earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
