Default My new .17hmr got its first kills...

Finally got to get out this weekend for some groundhog hunting in PA. After missing one groundhog at like 50 yards, I got these 2 right in a row. I shot the one and found the gun was shooting a little high.....next one didn't have a chance....i love when I get two quick kills in a row. The best part is that I can tell if I got them or not by the sound of hit. I then went back to the spot where I missed the one at 50 yards and he was back out. Only problem was that I was 250 yards away. From the prone position, I aimed about 8 inches over the hogs head (sighted in 1.5 high at 50 yards) and I nailed him. That was my furthest shot with .17 at a groundhog. I was walking up to get that one and another popped out of his hole at like 10 yards.....he was toast as well......good start to the season
