Several weeks ago I took my Grendel out to sight it in for an up-coming desert mule deer hunt. Zeroed with no problem at 100 yards.
Yesterday Sam and I went shooting and she shot the Grendel for the first time. We set up clay pigeons at various distances from about 75 yards to well past 200 going slightly uphill. I purposely did not range any of the targets so she could get used to taking shots by instinct if she needed to. After the first couple of shots she was drilling everything that she shot at and the clay was flying everywhere. We than found a steel target at approximately 600 yards and that proved to be no problem for her either. Seems like my reloads are working quite well.
She's hoping to find one of the two mountain lions we watched last year on an archery javelina hunt (I told her the odds are against her) but she's hopeful.
Now if I can just get me a deer for my 70th birthday. The season starts the day after.
