    Another 12 tonight for me. Sitting in long grass at edge of the field, shooting them coming into the farmers garden.

    Way to go PT. Like the safety represented by the broken open rifle
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    They weren't very little... but we knocked over 4 stinkies today

    1-from-1 for me, neck shot at 240y on a solid billy. Could have pushed the range a little further, but was wanting to see how the new 40gr pills perform on goats before I stretch the distance. Results were.. convincing. Straight down on the spot and dead within seconds. Very happy.

    Don't think you'd need to. Shoot it right it won't be going anywhere.
