Hi all... I ordered a Vudoo V22 about November last year and just received it about a week ago... I ordered a 90 degree bolt throw, a 22” Bartlein barrel with a 11 degree crown, a 30 moa rail , ravage stock and Trigger Tech diamond 2 stage trigger with a straight shoe. I topped the Vudoo with American Rifle Company Ring’s and an Arken EP5 scope. I’m having so much fun with it... it shoots great but I’ve been dealing with 20mph winds which are turning 1/2” 100yd groups into 1 1/2” groups. Still shoots one hole 5 shot groups at 25yds and 1 jagged hole at 50yds... I intend to bring it to the 175yard range and then to 200yd, 300yd and the 400yd range... Just waiting for the winds to calm over the next week.... The one problem I have is that I got Covid on Christmas Eve and almost didn’t make it... My lungs are still shot and I just got off oxygen two months ago so I can’t walk far yet. I can barely walk the 100yd range without passing out... So forget about the 175yd range for now... I can drive to the 200yd range out to the 600yd range.... I’m fighting hard and with the hope of God I fully recover.... But anyway I got to shoot my Vudoo and worth ever penny. Unfortunately I can’t seem to add photos for some reason...

Sounds like a fun shooter for sure. What ammo are you using? Hope get get back on your feet and your health returns shortly.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

When I go shooting- it’s unlikely a vudoo doesn’t come along.

Had the 1717 out next to the vudoo last time out and both shot multiple flavors of ammo well. Oddly enough, the Annie’s worst, was the Vudoo’s best.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

You never know which one is going to like what ammo. I guess that is kind of the fun in shooting these things.

My Vudoo Hummer,shoots better than my 1717D HB and I never expected that. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q90/924/puibVE.jpg) Also shoots better than my Clark Custom 77/22 Hummer and it's LW spout. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q90/540/3djKbn.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q90/921/DG4unc.jpg) Thing is a fhuqking HAMMER and is simply amazing. Hint...................

The ammo the Annie shot “worst”, which was still very good, the vudoo shot the best. I don’t know if I could say one was definitely more accurate than the other.

Don't avoid the wind, learn to shoot in the wind. Get some wind flags and either learn your hold-offs for various wind velocities and direction or dial in your scope for the prevailing wind and use your wind flags to only shoot your dialed in condition. Your groups will shrink and your marksmanship skills will increase significantly. And, the wind is always doing something, air is constantly moving in some direction. http://www.thewindisnotyourfriend.com/read/bernoulli.html

Someone once said something along the lines of… “distance is physics, wind is vudoo”

Love the Hummer but they do play hell on squirrels, little pieces of head everywhere. Can you get a Vudoo in the HM2?
