M.O.Rock Chuck.....[Linked Image]

Shot a chuck one day at about 40 yards, thought I'd missed when I saw a big mud splat beyond him, then saw him flop around. Pellet penetrated his head and still hit with enough energy to make a crater in the mud. Pretty amazing how little speed/energy is really necessary for clean kills. At 60 yards I hold about 4" high and connect with regularity. I do prefer 25-40 yard shots but longer shots on a nice day are very doable. A chuck head is about the size of the bottom of a pop can, if you can keep them in that - look out rock rats.

A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and fairness of the sport. - S. Pope
