Range

Well boys,
Digital is right. If you know how far it ain't a real trick if you can find something for a rest. After shooting over 4000 groundhogs(I got paid to do it) if you can figure close you can hit 'em. And nowdays they have the laser distance finders. Should make it a lot easier. My max range on a calm day(ain't too many of 'em) is about 400 yds or so. Have you all watched one of the good silhouette shooters stand up on his hind laigs and shoot the long range targets? It's kind of spooky to me. I can't even stand still. And they shoot great. They must be numb from the neck up!! BTW the most I ever got for one groundhog was 50 bucks. An easy 300 yd shot and the farmer stated he would pay that much to get rid of the darn thing in front of witnesses.... And they made him pay!!
