Some shooting over the sticks with the Hot Rod Hawken
Today I celebrated the 125th birthday of Idaho being a state.
I took my Hot Rod Hawken to bang some steel. The gong I used today was my smaller one it is 8"x12". I started out at 89 yards with an off hand shot that rang the steel. Then I shot at 100, 125, 141,160, 213 and then to finish at 50 in that order.
I was shooting early and the light was dim. I missed the 213 yard shot on a mistake. I took a range finder reading and it said 213 several times. So I set the sight as close as I could and took the shot. I shot Just over the top. I think the range finder was hitting the hill behind the target instead of the target. That bummed me out. Here is the video I took of some of it. The video also has my cross sticks on it, and a clip of the bullet hitting the steel at 50 yards.
