HM1000X: First days out in the woods


HM1000X has been very successful from the bench this year.  The weather finally got cold enough to kill off the bugs and a couple of crisp days in November presented themselves to give it a try.  My first day did not produce a squirrel but I still found it useful to practice with the equipment and validate shooting with a camera at 49 yards.  The next outing produced a nice gray squirrel with a  head shot at 30 yards.  The shot is not on camera.  Next time!
