To shoot the above buck, I sat for 12 hours in the wind and cold. It came out at the end of the day, i was literally counting down the minutes to season close cause i was so cold. The deer came out to my left and i would have never heard it with plugs in and i probably would not have seen it had i not heard it.
Agreed on a thread protector but i would like to make it a bit quieter. I am thinking at least at extended protector that sticks a couple of inches beyond the muzzle might help somewhat. I was just curious if anyone had some ideas or tried something similar.
How about a longer barrel. I recommend a 20" or better yet a 22".
