ya know i keep saying it over and over here and its obvious it does not sink in to some.



there are those of us who have grown up with spoons, in rural areas.



and then there are OTHERS, who havent a clue until late in life.



those of US(the rurales), always have a spoon around or (5) or more. kind of like a snap on tool box that goes bang when needed.


i got my 1st spoon when i was 6 years old. and took to shooting like a TICK TO A HOUND!



so thats 49 freeking years of shooting sheet. if ya aint good after 49 years of doing it alot.................well then maybe shuffleboard or croquet might be yer cup of tea.


practice does make perfect and thats a FACT!



even if just using a pellet pistol 2-3-4 times a week, keeps the skills honed.



mee-self? i always make it a challenge. anytime anyplace when i can. i love long range anything. fastest way to learn a round. and if ya DONT LEARN A ROUND.........well yer useless when it comes to being accurate.


there are inherently accurate rounds. incredible BC's(ballistic coefficients) and then there are rounds that you have to spend time with to master.



try shooting a 45/70/405 "rainbow tracjectory " round and master that?????


since i got my marlin 1895GS, and had nelson ford(thegunsmith.com) butter it up-action job, add a silicone mag spring,bear proof extractor, WWG big loop lever, thats ALL i think about shooting day in day out.


why? because i have become bored with modern day long range anythings. i grew up with levers and have gone full circle back to them. and its A CHALLENGE! challenge yerself and YOU WILL GIT GOOD!


that damn 45/70 is one HELL OF A SPOON and the freeking round is 135 years old. and if for a second you POO-POO the round..............just ask about a BILL-YON BUFFALO and INDIANS how inaccurate it is!


crap i can hit anything i please at a 1000yds iron sighted all day long with modern big bore caliber rifles. we have done it for a hell of along time.



its nothing more than a weekend afternoon bet "I'll betcha cant hit that tree limb or squirrel" or whatever and then learn yer round ballistics. it helps with a laser range finder. do it over and over and over..............you will git good,trust me. enter iron sight matches.......and its just like riding a bicycle. ya never forget how.


we have watched the .22 match guys hit ohio blue tip match heads off at 100yds. now thats a challenge. no different than us nailing the hell out of lil praire dawggie heads at various ranges when their poking their lil heads out of a hole with .308's or .338's! now thats a HOOT! and damn good PRE-HUNT PRACTICE!



this GOOD 'OL BOY has been shooting a damn long time and he earns my respect in spades.
