Seriously, make sure you get me some info, even if you didn’t get to shoot till the last minute, I’m going to collect these all summer and hopefully some nice folks will sponsor some prizes, or at least freebees.
Hey Og,
Drug out my old 22 rifle. A Winchester 62A I bought when I was a freshman in high school. Used to use it to keep the rabbit population under control on the farm. Also used to be able to cut the stems on pine cones hanging in the tree with it. Couldn’t shoot as well as my buddy, however. He used to shoot bats out of the air with his 22. Even then I couldn’t even see the dang bats at dusk, and he was shooting them down on the wing! Never did hit one. Tried, though…..
Sure can’t shoot like that today! That was roughly 45 years ago, and the eyes and coordination just aren’t what they used to be! Today at 25 yards I could barely see the black dots, and couldn’t see the rings at all. Had to use reading glasses so I could see the front sight, the rear was only a blur. I just mentally divided the paper into quadrants, and aimed for where I hoped the bull might be.
The 62A is still a sweet rifle. I’d forgotten just how much fun it is to shoot. It’s still 100% original. No bull barrel, no target trigger, no custom stock, or any of that other fancy stuff. Truly a joy to shoot………
I’d sure as hell like to get sponsored by Winchester… I shoot enough of their ammo…
Well, crap, apparently mine got lost. Just resent them.
My rifle score got lost too, also a friend’s pistol scores. Re-sent them both. Don’t know if they got there or not…….
Damn, I shot top so far on the rifle?!? Luck sometimes comes to the semi-blind…
Hey Sorry I didn’t send anything in. I meant to hit the range this weekend, but didn’t have time and then forgot that Sunday was mothers day until it was too late.
No way the wife was going shooting on mothers day. We ended up at brunch and going to the park with the son (which is better than going to the range but . . . . .
