Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Record Day With The Gophers

I have shot more, but not more without a miss. I bought a new Cooper rifle in 17 CCM and it is a perfect gopher gun. I took it, a 17 Remington, a 223 and a 17 HMR shooting gophers. I started with the 17 CCM and before I knew it I had shot 12 in a row without a miss. I was wondering how long I could keep up the streak. I kept shooting and I even got 3 doubles and a triple while I was running my streak.

Then, wouldn't you know it, before I could shoot a complete box of 50 without a miss, I missed a chip shot. 48 rounds without a miss, 49 was a gimme and I missed it. 49/50 on gophers isn't bad. A total of 54 with 50 shots fired certainly isn't a bad showing for 1 box of cartridges.

I ended up with a total 200 confirmed kills on the clicker...
