[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660620, member: 30902"] Man you just stole my thunder. I was thinking the same thing on the way home.... . Great minds! gun) No one starts off shooting 600-1,000yds. One way or another we all had to work our way out. My first shot at over 400yds was with a 700bdl 7mm Remington mag with open sights on a prairie dog. My mentor was with me, spotting him and said "take him" and I laughed and said all I can see is the mound. He said, well he's top center at 12o'clock standing on his hind legs. I fired, huge dust cloud and I was proud as hell that I'd hit so close. He had a scope and said, "you weren't close, there' pieces of prarie dog strung out for 50yds! I dind't believe him until we walked down there. Sure enough 418 paces to the hole and pieces of prairie dog strung out for forty paces beyond. Afew months later I was picking feral pigeons off of the top of an old grainery from the ground with my dad's old Remington Pump 22. I looked like a country version of rat patrol riding my old bycicle all over the country carrying a rifle tied to the handle bars looking for targets... . Man to be 14 and starting all of this again... . Take your time, work your way out, each success will bring more confidence that you can keep moving it out. [/QUOTE]
