If you are using the older .300's and not the carbon it will not hit where you aim iron sights. It hits way low and to the left. Not sure about the k98 but the stock .243 is really good. But the lever action 30.06 and the 8x57 IS ( the orange one) they cause medium animals to bleed out if hit at all. At 215 with the .243 aim for the top of the target and see what ring you hit.Villkatta wrote:Anyone know how to hit an ibex(or anything for that matter) from 215m without a scope? Any advice which weapon to choose?
I tested both the 300 and of course the K98k on a deployable target, but I can't hit the the target at all. And since I have no idea where I'm hitting I'm not having much luck adjusting either. Any advice?

Re: Summer Fiesta 2018
Thanks for your advice guys, but after shooting and shooting and not being remotely close hitting the deployable target, I decided to just hit the mountains and try. If I could get one lucky shot I'd rather it be one of the ibex instead of the target
After a couple of attempts I found an ibex standing quite vertically in a slope. I aimed the tip of the blade of the K98k almost at the top of his horns and hoped for the best.
After the shot I noticed he lowered his head while he ran, indicating a hit. I prayed to every possible deity ever invented and ran over to the spot. I got blood!!!
Body of course, but I hoped the ammo would take him down anyway. And lucky me, it turned out I hit him in the skull. Mission accomplished, but this was a pure hail Mary/Buddha/Krishna/Beelzebub shot - no skills involved at all!
So if you can't do it - just bloody fake it

Thanks for posting the mission, you saved me a lot of time, i was having a hard time getting the Dall in the brain, but now i know the next mission requires a muzzloader that i don't own i can let the missions aside for later in the year, and concentrate my time and efforts in the Lottery and the Last Summer Hunt2 competitions
Thanks TreeKiwi, but i will let this one pass for now, as i mentioned i am doing other comps and that got my limited game time full.

Re: Summer Fiesta 2018
Tried shooting them from the side? Double lung hit will kill it instantly. This is not a problem with the inline, and it shouldn't be any issued with the 50 cap either from these distances.Eraser_SK wrote:Im just curious - 50 cap muzzleloader rly cant instant kill Reindeer from 15m?

Re: Summer Fiesta 2018
Anyone know if they've already fixed the Eye of the Tuatara mission? I'm stuck on this mission waiting for them to fix it ...
Good luck to everyone on the missions.

All is fixed now, please note that we have updated the mission information as well, they must be in one shot and the Bison has to be in a running state for it to tick the box!
Good luck all!

Re: Summer Fiesta 2018
Can someone explain how buckshot to the head of a bighorn sheep from 5 meters is not a brain shot but only skull?
