[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2833677, member: 115299"] That right there is what it is all about. Great read. Well written and told. That is a great accomplishment. It reminds me of something I had not thought of in years but would loved to go back in time and do again. It really taught me how to shoot well. When I was a freshman in High School in the mid 80s we lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan. One of our favorite things to do was go to the local dump at night with a spot light and shoot the rats of the trash. No fancy equipment, no scopes, just a Model 1922 22LR and a big light. We would set up on a hill over looking the dump and light that place up with eight or ten Q-beams. Once the bears cleared out we would start shooting. The closest shots were at about 75-100 yards but there we several at 200-300 yards. The trash piles were just moving with rats the size of gray squirrels. It was a lot of fun. I don’t know if they let them do that anymore but it will make a shooter out of you. Nothing like getting ribbed by a butch of your buddies for missing a big rat or being praised for hitting one at a couple hundred yards with a 22. Fun times and great memories. Oh to be young again!🤣 [/QUOTE]
