They say it can't be done

RE: They say it can't be done
Sam actually they did class Carol and I in the B class.
I got a certificate for the high B class shooter on Sunday. I think there were 3 or 4 of us.
I shot the 22 sillouette a couple of times with iron, and we have 2 full banks of those targets here. As much as I try I can't get the hang of the turkeys with the irons, but the scope makes them a bunch easier.
There at Watkins the chickens are on stands that are fairly low to the ground at it can and does happen that a low shot will hit them hard enough with rocks and gravel to knock them off, also a low pull that hits the road in front of them will let the bullet skip up and take them down. Sort of like a bank shot on the pool tableWink
The hard part is getting to the point where the timer doesn't intimidate a person. Once you figure out the time management, it's easy to finish the 5 targets with time to spare.
Yes it's a bit hard to be told when to shoot sometimes. It can work out alright if the shooters in front of you can set a good cadence, but if they stop to argue about whether or not the radio worked etc,, it can throw your timing and all completely off.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
