Got a nice cow on an Oregon damage tag yesterday. 330 yards, custom 1952 Model 70 .338 Winchester, lovingly handloaded 210 Partition. Bang flop with an extra for insurance. Eat right up to the bullet hole, just as Elmer said...

Ya, great caliber too. 👍 Nice work
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Most excellent! I can almost taste the backstraps now and what an outstanding rifle.

I like the walking staff too! Well done. The walking stick is covering the quarter size exit hole. The heart was mush.

I use my homemade shooting sticks as walking/ support sticks. Very helpful with loose knees. That stick looks dandy for the task.
