    140 yards on a hare, Ruger 10-22 w/6.5x20 scope. I thought i had missed because the hare didn't move. So we got closer and it still didn't move, we walked right up to is then noticed the slightly bloody bullet hole in its neck. Severed the spine!

    Well, actually I did make the trunions for a civil war cannon for reenactment. Not sure? what the caliber was but it was a good 2" ball or better.

    Few long shots;

    Selfbow at an animal was 30 yards at a hog and it ran 10 yards and died.

    Selfbow at a 3D target was 60 yards at an elk, right in the lung area.

    Longest hunting rifle shot was with a 308 at a doe running through a swamp at 100 yds., hit her right in the heart. She piled up on a tree one leap out of the swamp.

    Longest of long shot was a tank at 1 mile with a 50 cal. dead on.

    Dad was enlisted AF weapons, Cheif MSGT. I am pretty proud of that. He is retired now and we get to hunt together every few years. I enjoy putting him on the best game SC has to offer, being he lives in NM. We made time to hunt growing up even with the moves every 3 yrs. Hell of a man! He has a few canons we could talk about. I remember him handing me that M1 Gerrand at 12 well I tried to squeeze off all 7 or 8 rounds can't remember how many it was but that gun just got heavier and heavier. 7mm was a blast at the range. at 12 too. so you see here I am. Oh by the way by 9, I had my first 870 on my bedroom wall!
