[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 500775, member: 30902"] We have a huge problem in my part of Texas with water snakes and painted turtles taking over our tanks (ponds). I spend thousands of rounds every year popping their little head's off with an open sight .22 at up to 120yds. Those heads present a target of just 1/4-1/2 inch and of course with it being Texas a "calm day" means winds between 10-20mph. They usually present for less than 15 seconds too after the first shot or two. That makes for some very good practice. I grew up shooting prairie dogs with an old Wards (stephens I think) .22 squirrel gun. Between the two there's no better, cheaper, or more fun way to practice and learn to shoot. Try sneaking up on a prairie dog town close enough to get within range with an open sight .22 sometime... .gun) [/QUOTE]
