    Where the spikers' live...

    Brian I had a big boys' sleep over last weekend and had a bit of fun.

    300 yards was as close as we could get because of a difficult wind. I got a couple with the .243 and then Brian got one at 350 with his 30.06.

    No need for too many words.

    Where we lived.


    A couple of them. Brian with the one he shot.




    Head hunters...


    Meat hunters...



    Tally hunters...


    A 243 Interbond. 320 yds, off side shoulder joint.


    A dog.

    243. What a useless option

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Well done @Tahr.
    Brian looks very pleased with himself.
    Did you give him a bone?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
