Plenty of cats around where I am. I've shot 5 and missed one just this last week. They are a major issue for the native wildlife. I have 11 trail cameras and it's rare not to see a cat go past most weeks. Here's one I caught in a dog trap.

Love it. Here in Australia we had a rat and mouse plague a little while ago. We tried baiting and trapping but by far the most consistent and successful was shooting. I was using a Lightgow LA101 in 22lr Pulsar XP50 Death Grip tripod. I used up 2000 + rounds Pleanty of misses but still lots...

Hi CBH Been a while had forgotten about the post. It didn't raise any responses I was trying to get some info myself as i was thinking the same thing you are. I was going to build a 6.5 creedmoore as a walk around rig. firing the Barnes 100 gr TTSx bullet. Then i was going to buy a barrel...

Beautiful handgun , I wish our laws allowed hand gun hunting. It would add a whole new dimension to trips into the bush. Sadly i dont see a change of heart in my life time. Good luck on your hunt and enjoy that little beauty of a gun.

Big thanks to all who shared there advice and stories. It highlighted my complete ignorance in regards to eye dominance and shooting hand gun , something i am new to. it'll take a while to get the practice needed to see results were a fair trip way from the range and our local regulations...

Turns out the father in-law had some all along. shes going to give them a go next range trip/

Both my girls wear glasses for reading. I was thinking they should when shooting but they didnt seem keen but it might be something we have to try.

Was having a similar issue but I'm not using competition seater. Started seating twenty tho longer then going back thru and setting final depth. Helped with my issue with my gear.

I never experienced any trouble with eye dominance, right/right. so i wasn't aware in regards to my girls. But it looks as there isn't any real issue just a small change and lots of practice. Thanks

It really gives us the confidence to go forward and train. She didn't seem fazed by the fact she will be changing hands and shooting left handed. I'll post some before and after targets in the near future. Thanks again all. I knew asking here would get a positive response.

Many thanks , Appreciate every ones feed back. That gives us both a solid starting point to build up her skill set. Its great to see so many family units enjoying shooting and working out the bugs to get every one scoring consistently. Its something we love as a family , inter family matches...

Hi all. My eldest daughter is old enough to get her minors permit and shoot handgun at the range. All good till the point where she starts to shoot and only manages a few hits . Its her first visit to the range and i'm standing behind her , so I cant see that she has both eyes open, trying to...

Great life experience story. Been shooting most of my life recently decided to go and shoot a 700 Yard match and the local stall warts were more then abliging and guided me to a respectable score. Great coaching is a fundamental of success and enjoyment. I'm hooked and will be going back for...

A personally relevant thread . i have two daughters , one left one right handed . both shoot my right handed bolt gun . the oldest shoots right handed and the youngest shoots left handed ,reaching over the gun to cycle the bolt. they both shoot well i have decided that this xmas ill be buying...

GO HUNTING. I've always stuck with the policy of better to ask for forgiveness then stay home unhappy. Known my wife 24 yrs been married 12 of them and she still can't understand why I love to hunt as much as I do. Equally ill never understand why she loves horses. Age has nothing to do with...
