    Cant help much, i’d be tickled with those groups. Best ask one of the fclass/br guys. All Incan offer is veryical dispersion is often mirage from the barrel.

    I dont know the hotels, but I’d look around exit 17 on 89, thats Milton. That puts you just a few min to the mallets bay launch, just a few min actoss the sand bar to the islands (several launches)...

    I had a 17’ lund with a very similar hull to that renegade, it was WAY more stable than a 17’ glass bass boat will be. The waterline width on your tin boat is very wide. May not ride better, may not...

    Zero issue with too close. Worst case you’ll lose a petal or two, but if anything that’s better—higher likelihood of greater trauma. Dont give it a minute’s thought.

    Use them, they work. Eldx is designed to upset down to fairly low velocity, as you would expect at longer ranges (longer= 500 to 1000 yards). It’ll work fine at shorter ranges, although because its a...

    How big is the center dot and what range was the target at?

    Cartridge? Gun?(weight?) position? Were all shots done in one string or were you breaking position between some of the shots?
