Shooting the B/W

[camo]

Shot a few rounds today. One pic is from other day, one is today.

What was the distance to the target ?

[camo]

Distance was 5 yards. I can do pretty good to about 7 yards, but when I move to 10 yards, seems like I do good to hit the paper.

[camo]

I very seldom shoot past 10 yards, but I decided to shoot from 15 just to see where I'd hit. This was free handed from 15 yards. Don't know if I could do this again. The small holes were shot from other side of cardboard with shot shells.

Looks like you are doing pretty darn good.
In time, the pattern will shrink.

Now try the other hand.
There may come a time that you need it.

[camo]

I don't know. Some days I'm doing good if I shoot that group at 10 yards. Sometimes even at 5 yards.

[camo]

Most times I use shotshells on rattlesnakes.

[camo]

I didn't know I was gonna shoot more than 5 shots. So not all from 7 yards. First few rounds were from 7 yards, than rolled forward and shot some from 5 yards, than walked up to as close as I want to get to a big rattlesnake, about 6 feet, and shot last 2 rounds. All except the last two shots were sitting in UTV, and shooting over steering wheel.

Looks like some pretty good shooting.

Camo,
I agree with Rogue. Pretty good shooting.

The B/W is my edc, and as long as it is the only one I shoot, I get to be pretty consistent. But when I shoot my M&P .22 compact for a few days and then go back to B/W, it's almost like I forgot how to shoot.

[Uncle_Lee]

I wouldn't want to be the snake you were shooting at.

[camo]

uncle lee, shot with the other hand today. 4 shots just to see how I would do. Still two handed, but used left hand.

[Uncle_Lee]

Done pretty darn good.
A person needs to use both hands.

[camo]

I need to be up front with you. I probably fudged a little shooting left handed. I really did shoot left handed, but I do some things right or left handed. Shooting is one, although I haven't shot left handed in a long time.

[camo]

The 8 holes all spread out was one handed at a pretty fast pace. Actually shot 9 times. One missed paper. The last 5 shots was close range. It was hot and muggy today. Gonna soon be to hot to be shooting much.

[camo]

Here's the reason I always practice a few shots at rattlesnake range. I was cutting grass today.

I've shot copperhead snakes before, with a .30-30. I don't know if I'd trust using a mini. My preferred snake gun would be a full auto 12 gauge. .. 

[camo]

I don't like getting that close either. Used a hoe many times. My dad could hardly walk, and it didn't bother him a bit using his old wood walking stick.

  Those poor reptiles , well the rat , mouse population will thank you for it anyhow . 

[camo]

Cats take care of the rats. My son has spent time in hospital twice from being bit. First time for a week and almost didn't make it. Second time just couple days. I been bit twice, rattlesnake and rat snake. Lucked up with rattlesnake, no problems, the rat snake I got sick. The rat snakes I leave alone, but the rattlesnakes, I relocate.

410 full choke

[camo]

I agree with you on the 410. Most times when I'm in the UTV, I have my 410 in the gun rack. On the mower, it's the B/W.

[RogueTS1]

Bearcatter runs into the house but cannot find his full auto 12 gauge and grabs the next best thing in his mind, then comes storming back outside spraying and praying! 

1.5 seconds later, "Well; I've aerated the lawn .................. but did I hit the snake?"

Shot 8 rounds yesterday before falling down. I seem to fall pretty often these days. Summer is here. It's already hot. I don't shoot near as much during the summer. My range is in the shade most of the day, but with no breeze, it's still hard to enjoy shooting.

     Another scenario : Bearcatter grabs his 9MM runs outside and is taken down by the local SWAT team and the snake escapes unharmed not even knowing just what fate it avoided . Besides it was a harmless Garter snake chasing a small mouse named "Mickey" . Oh by the way there were thirty seven bullet holes in old Bearcatter but whos counting . 

[bearcatter]

I don't have a 9 mm and I know what a Garter Snake looks like. You're calling me "old Bearcatter"?  You got that right, but at least I'm only 66! ..  I might make it to 67 ....

[camo]

Nothing to brag about, but took a picture anyway. I shot a few rounds at 15 yards, few at 10 yards, and then finished at 5 yards. Standing free handed. I need to start looking at some of your pictures because its about to get to hot for me to be shooting much.

[camo]

Glad I've gotten better shooting the B/W.

   Don't worry Old Bear I got you beat by six or seven years but my body says twelve or fifteen .... I gotta ask the wife she keeps track of that stuff .
