Just like any sport, the better you get, the more you need to challenge yourself. If you don't have the desire to shoot distance, then you probably aren't much of a rifleman.

Ya' that's the ticket..........
VIDEO
ain't got a big loop turdy-turdy
and don't care much for shooting long distance.
and here after owning a couple hundred long guns and killing thousands of critters in the last 55 years I find out I don't qualify as a rifleman. LOL
One could almost get depressed.
on the run at +/- 15 paces.
on the run at +/- 30 yds.
a double, on the run between +/- 40 and 60 yds.
on the run, off rest, +/-125 yds
a two-fer at +/- 175 yds.
guess I'll have to be satisfied being a short range meat hunter.
Oh well, maybe when I grow up. LOL

G, I feel your 'pain'....
This was about 1/2 hour ago.
Tried out a new piece, 7 or 8 paces.
Feel the Thunder!
8 or 9 pace laser tag.
Total pistola rookie but they are fun. Not as fun as rifles of course but...
If it's nice tomorrow afternoon we might drive up the road a little ways and blast some clays out in a stubble field.

The farthest I practice is 250 yards. The farthest I've killed is 300. I may not qualify as I rifleman but don't ever bet against me on a running shot under a hundred yards. I can do some things to a buck exploding from cover that most tactical marksman can't dream of.

don't tell anybody, I wouldn't want them to think I was a stunt-shooter, but the critters were mostly runnin'. I was stayin' in practice by going the other way, riding my ATV, rifle over my left shoulder(Righty on the trigger), looking through a handlebar mounted mirror. I'm usually 9 out of 10 at less than 75 yds.
No pix of blastin' walkin' catfish on the walk.
These were sqattin' and hidin' in the brush when I shot em'

ya'
they are indeed vermin'
and they're the best tasting bullet test media I've found. Plus I can kill as many as I want 24/7/366 (In leap years).
Anywho,
opinions are like noses, everyone has one and most of them smell.
10 yds.
+/- 50 yds.
+/- 90 yds.
+/100 yds.
+/- 120 yds.
+/- 140 yds.
(all killed with a rifle) Hint!

The guy down the road has some pigs fenced in. Maybe he will let me shoot one so I can pretend I'm in Texas. Pics sure to follow!
