HOLY BEEJEEBERS, KEVIN DID IT IN SPADES!!!!!  Kevin, how do I turn off the lead repellent force field? Geez, Louise, THAT is quite a shot and Captains Morgan and Cresap have put you in for a field promotion to Lieutenant! Seriously, that is spectacular. If I ever shoot one like that I will rent a highway signboard so everyone sees it. One more thing, pm me your mailing address so your "certificate" redeemable for some Sam Adams celebratory libation can be mailed. WOW.   :hairy  :bow  :toast  :applaud

 I took up my position hiding behind my truck, way behind.
  I go to this particular sand pit early and usually have it to myself for awhile.
  Anyways loaded up and after two FITP  and a WTF .
 I figure that out and decided today I'm not doing the hold forever thing .
 When I settled in it felt right and I touched ol ginger off and it was good .
  Using the correct size rock made a big difference.

 I will always keep trying. Just now I can shoot at it more than once.
 Good practice.
 Keep it up, we need more fellas in the ranks.

Good job, Kevin!!!
If at first you do not succeed, try, try and try again, until you finally wear out the rock.
Proud of you, lad.

Py Yiminy, you did it!  That's fantastic!   :hairy  I need to get the new stock finished for the Hodgepodge rifle so I can try shooting that l-o-n-g range target again.

It was a very uplifting experience indeed.
 Now I think I will try my smoothbore again just not with 100 grains .
