The birds I shot today off the rock wall today "rocking them" vs "barking them" were actually @ 97 feet.
Sabotloader - did you mean yards? Couple thoughts - if you set them up on snow (hopefully not an option from here on out) you could tell, or, set them at the back edge of a puddle, or, set them up on a large flat rock where you would see the lead impact on the rock. Hey, set them up on that piece of trash left by the idiot!

Those 460 leads must really pack a whallop at those velocities. How's your shoulder after all those shots?

Also, how did you get the shot numbers to show on the target you posted? That's very helpful in understanding what you were doing.

Now, a final request ............. after your shooting "match" today, simply post a picture of whichever truck is clean and shiny, we'll know the rest of the story.

Actually this Renegade stock is much more pleasant to than the Hawkin stock. I really do not notice the recoil that much so it doesn't seem to bother, but a day or two after shooting that Stainless Hawken I had one heck of beauty bruise on my shoulder.... It even effected my trap shooting on Sunday - anyway something did - my scores were terrible...

Also, how did you get the shot numbers to show on the target you posted? That's very helpful in understanding what you were doing.
If you look at may range log you can see I tried to plot the shots on the log as I shot them - then I scanned the target and transferred thenumbers to the target when I got home. I was pushing my plotting capabilities with that many shotsand plotting on to small of scale. Actually if I had not plotted on the range book I could have made some real interesting group arrangements.

Now, a final request ............. after your shooting "match" today, simply post a picture of whichever truck is clean and shiny, we'll know the rest of the story.
Cdad & Matt will not get here until Friday afternoon and he does want to shoot some if wecan but he wants to shoot some of his loads across my chrono - so we will have to see how much time we have, but with his sin there who is much younger than us, he will have to be factored into theshooting and he isn't bad...

We, Terry and I,are headed toLewiston I need to stop in Black Sheep and hopefully they will have some fiber optic sights for this Renegade - but I an not going to change them til next week, but I think I will take my 1/28 Hawken to the pit anyway it is really a good shooter. I would take my White and go one on one with his White, but I shoot 10mm 200 grain sabots from it and somehow that would not be fair against the lead sinkers he shoots + the fact themy White is scoped and his is peep sights...

The Birds... They were leaning on rock bits - I did not put them up against the wall for that very reason - I knew somebody would say that I was just hitting around them and the weight and force of those lead sinkers were causing them to fall over - that is why I took the close up pic - so you could see the bits.... I gonna get a video and rig it up some how just to show you guys...

Now that you got me talking about shooting - I do not want to go to Lewiston anymore - but alas i must rest these aged eyes for the important duty they will have on Friday, also just so everyone knows Cdad is my guest so I will have to be diplomatic and not embarass him...

Mike, don't know if you saw this in the other post, so I will copy it here.

Dang Mike, thebox of .504 460s I gave you was the last one I had. I have a bunch of .5045 460's. I will bring a box of those over and if they are too tight, you can shoot them in your Ultra-Mag. I do have some of the .504 400's, I will bring them over for you to try also. And some Swiss.

If you like the Swiss, we can arrange to get you a "supply".


Matt hurt his knee last night in wrestling practice, so we MIGHT not be over tomorrow. I will let you know how it is looking when he gets home from school tonight.

Hopefully we'll make it. Are there any good restaraunts in Moscow? I know of a good pizza joint in Pullman. Anyway, we can always "shoot for dinner", that way Terry doesn't have to cook for us.

You are high tech.

Cascadedad - are you going to let him get away with this? I sure hope goatbrother doesn't show up with a pair of dueling pistols!

Hope you guys get to have your match.

He is ALL talk. You see, I have to be nice to him, because I can only imagine how mean and nasty he would be if I really showed him up. I am counting on sleeping at his house, so I have to be careful.

Cascadedad - I understand. I also just returned from the "Attn: Idaho Muzzleloaders" post and was happy to see the two of you highjacked that forum long enough for a bit of Smack Talk. I have to go to my blog now and adjust the odds for the shoot-off. My 10% take on the pool looks like it might cover that new barrel I've ordered.

Well, you can tell he's scared, he's been shooting almost every day!!!!!!!!

And he won't shoot the Swiss, because he knows that ALL the BIG TIME SHOOTERS shoot it and he needs an excuse.
