Shooting for fun

I like to zero a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch high at 25 yards; and that puts me right on the money at 50 - 60 yards. From there on out to 150, it is just like Bullseye's graphic, right on at 6 inches of drop. At 150 plus the bottom really starts to drop out. With practice, and a mildot scope, or one with the little ranging bar scopes, practice will put you on target if the wind is not to strong to effect your windage.

With my Browning Buck Mark and Medalist, zeroed with the red dots at 25 yards, and 1 minute of angle red dot, I can roll my gophers on their wire frame several times per magazine full. My best so far was yesterday with my Medalist and a good rest on my range bag - I hit 3 out of 4 shots on the little buggers. Now that is fun. I banged one of them with my S&W Mdl 19 .357 and did some rather severe damage to it. I didn't expect to hit it, but now I think if I ever do get a deer within 50 yards of me, he, or she, will be in a world of hurt. TB

I'm lazy; do my 10/22 at fifty yards. The Ruger handguns at 25, and the Bobcats at 25 feet. I agree with B&OM, I like my prairie dogs the best, for fun.
