No offense, but you dont sight or pattern Freehand. You need a solid rest or you cannot be sure that POI and POA are the same.

None Taken.  Had no choice.  Normally I do sight in, just like I'm turkey hunting.  Sitting with my back against the tree and gun on my knee.  Today I went behind my house, bc I live in a neighborhood, into a block of woods, and had one place in the woods where I could even see 40 yards.  There was no vise, no shooting chair, nothing... so I grabbed an oak limb as big as my arm, stood it up and used it to steady my shot. 

-But I see your point.  Technically it wasn't free-hand.  Didn't mean to mislead anyone.  All 3 shots were consistent. just a touch low.  So I think I am gonna be ok.

Dusty, can you also count the HWT and MagBlend 20"?

You've got a real nice hunting pattern with the Big20XL.

20" numbers:

HWT 7s- 129
MagBlends- 94

No offense either - but when you pull down on a turkey you don't have a bench rest. I sight em in sitting in my gobbler lounger off my knee just like I shoot them in the hunt. Don't care what it does out of a vice if I am torquing it over when I shoot it freehand. I had rather sight in to my hold than to the leadsled's.
