The further adventures of Pedro the One Armed Bandit
After seeing my doctor on Monday and getting some more bad news and being referred to yet another doctor (seven and counting) I did some reading up on some long range shooting from the likes of Elmer Keith and Ed McGivern. I don't plan on going out and shooting a deer at 600 yards but I decided to see what I could do with one of my revolvers off the bench one handed. I parked my jeep and set up a target 40 yards out, I cut a piece of white paper a bit smaller than the vitals of a whitetail and then leaned up against the rear tire and braced my right forearm on my right knee and let fly. The results were a hit every time with my handloads. I plan on stretching the range out more every time to see how far I can get it with the one hand.

Hope the shooting made you feel better...even if the doctor visit didn't. Nice Outdoorsman by the way and good shooting. (smile)
