[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2405810, member: 6078"] Woodchucks! Shooting groundhogs is my favorite. Eventually i run out of em at 50 yards so the 22mag got hung up when I was 12 and dad gave me his "243 savage". Beat up 110e in 243. Thats when I started long range shooting. In north west pa we don't have a lot of real long shots, but plenty of 300-500 yard long fields. For a teenager in the 90's without a rangefinder, that's long range. I spent whole days stepping off distance to holes and drawing maps on paper, then taking shots at targets and writing down holdovers. I wish I'd kept better notes then. I dont know how many I got or how many shots I took but it was a lot. I still really enjoy it. It's like fishing. Go n sit and enjoy the sunshine, with a splash of excitement here n there. Now my daughter does more shooting than I do. Got her a fancy cricket 22mag and she handles the first 100 yards. I just get the long pokes.
