    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    I shot a wild hog sow swimming across Trinity Bay with a 20 ga. load of #4 steel shot during teal season...probably 12 inches from my barrel to her earhole. Young pig, good eatin, hard to haul over the gunnel!

    What is life like in Las Vegas?

    I lived there from 2000 to 2009. It was ok, nothing too exciting, people not necessarily too friendly, I was working way too much but in my spare time I enjoyed four-wheeling and exploring the desert, shooting coyotes, playing some golf. My wife became a drunk and a degenerate gambler (she's...

    Getting in mountain shape with no mountains around?

    I cut back to 1 pack a day, switch to lite beer, and get the medium fries instead of the large...usually start this regimen about 6 weeks before I go. Discipline is the key!

    Easily a 500 yd deer round. That bottom rack in my avatar was with a 130 gr. Scirocco from a regular 260 Rem at around 700 yds.

    24" barrel, 100 gr. bullet @ around 3,000 fps...I don't see much of a distance handicap. I run basically that same setup with a 22" bbl and I'm good to +1,000.
