Well I finally can start the sequel to last years adventure with the arrival of my 10mm today! 
As those who have seen my previous posts will noticed there was a change in firearms for this hunt.... Long story short Sig Told me that, even though I place the order through the Sig Friends and Family Program and back on October 10th, the firearm is no where near getting into my possession anytime soon. I was told upon my order that I would have it sometime during the end of November... A dozen calls or so over the next 6 months proved that wrong and the latest update said 2 months at the earliest and more and likely 4-5 months....
Anyways.......
I present to y'all my Glock 40 MOS with a trijicon RM06.
So far I enjoy it and don't feel half bad with my groups at 25 yards. However I don't know exactly what is a "good group" for a handgun at this distance but these were my results.
Sig FMJ 180 grain 10 shots
And the potential hunting bullet- Hornady 180 grain XTP 5 shots (I yanked the last one bad but was pretty happy with the first 4 shots)
One realization is I need to shorten the trigger travel and I will try to fix that with a Ghost 3.5 pound Connector which will arrive on Wednesday.
After that I plan on shooting around 20-30 more fmj's and 5-10 more XTP's to see where I stand.
Here are the targets, which many of y'all have already seen in aoudad threads over the last 3 months due to my excitement of this hunt to come
Granddaddy "as my sister has named him"
He hasn't been seen in awhile but fingers crossed when I pull the card on Wednesday he makes a appearance.
And New Guy as we'll call him
The current hand gun world record is (roughly) 144 3/8's so that's the mark I'll be trying to overtake!
The plan is to make the first hunt on Wednesday evening of this week but some work will be required as I'll need to quickly hang a tree stand at a new spot we set a feeder at a few months ago.
As for trailer camera pics New Guy was showing up pretty close to clockwork last time I checked (9 days ago) and I'll be checking the camera again before hanging the stand on Wednesday morning to see if that's still the case.
I hope this thread will be as entertaining as the last one was as it was a blast taking you guys along.
If everything goes well and both the aoudad and myself do our parts that potentially could be 2 world records in less than 6 months! However if it drags on alittle bit like the last time I won't mind to much as its a blast chasing these things.
I'll be tuning back in on Wednesday for updates on pics, the stand, and new groupings once the Ghost connector is installed.
