With a little practice, you might get purty good!!

Looks like that old relic did what it is supposed to do.

I dinged about a dozen pasture poodles with mine this week. I was checkin' fence on an ATV, and the PDs was kinda suicidal, but that 5" sure feels good.

Iggy:

I have always been nice to you, and what do I get, you actin all insulting and calling me an "old relic".

Shame on you!

I resent being called an old relic and demand an apology.

Sal treats me much more respectfully.

Bushmaster, very nice group. Didn't think much of it until I looked again a nd noticed you put one in each corner, then two in the middle. Sweeeet. You get those targets in the ER at the local hospital ? First ones I've seen like that. Send that thing down south so I can feed it right on southern fried 2400 and 158 swc out at 100 yards and see what she'll do. Nice gun. I have a 5" but she has more character (wear) than yours.
Enjoy

Start wearing your glasses and you might make a good shooter some day!

All kidding aside, that's some nice shooting with a great old gun. I love my early '50s .357 Magnum, even though it has a 6" barrel. They do shoot where you point them!

Was not wearing my corrective glasses (in favor of wrap around safety glasses) because we were shooting revolvers, pistols, shotguns and OH MY GOSH evil black rifles.

I am curious if I will do better with my long distance glasses and a dot in the center of the target.

Note: Very few bad guys wear highly visible target dots on their solar plexis.
