I’ve been hunting with a rifle since I got my first BB gun when I was 8 years old. I can still remember asking my dad to a put scope on that BB gun. After he put a scope on it I became deadly with that BB gun and slayed many sparrows and starlings with that rifle. Since then I’ve always liked using rifles when I go hunting. I keep telling myself that one day I will pick up a bow or muzzle loader but just can’t seem to part hunting with a rifle.

Not only is shooting a rifle fun, but being able to look through that rifle scope and see that big buck or bull a few hundred yards off in your cross hairs is a feeling that is hard to describe.

And the sound a rifle makes when you fire it is enough to get your adrenaline pumping. Rifles are also great for putting big game down. When you hit a big game animal with a 180 grain silver ballistic tip bullet, they usually don’t run very far. I can count on two fingers how many animals I’ve lost after I hit them. And I’ve taken quite a few animals and have been hunting for over 17 years. So rifles are great for putting game down and keeping them down.

Teaching kids how to hunt with a rifle also teaches them gun safety. I’ve never had an accident with a rifle or a handgun. It’s all due to the lessons my father taught me when I was young on how to safely handle a rifle and handgun. And I thank him for that.

Hunting with a rifle allows you to shoot big game animals from distances 17 wsm Ammo for sale   that would never be possible with a bow or muzzle loader. Now granted there are arguments on both sides of bow hunting and rifle hunting as to which one is better and one is not better than the other. It’s purely a preference choice. We’re all hunters and all part of a brotherhood that binds us all together regardless if we bow hunt or rifle hunt.

I just want to make people aware of why hunting with a rifle is fun. And some of the benefits of hunting with a rifle and scope.

The important thing is not which weapon you choose to hunt with, what is important is just getting out and actually going hunting.

Be safe and good hunting my friends.
