Default RE: I sighted my .22 in for 200 yds! Crazy?

Had an old sharecropper shack on a hunting club I was in. Owner was going to rent a dozer to level it, my friend and I volunteered to do it for him, to make a few brownie points. We just asked that he not rush us.

We used our handguns instead of heavy equipment. Started at the top of the chimney, worked our way down. Then the porches.

When we got ready for the walls, we got serious. Took a piece of chalk, marked a nailhead. Tossed chalk over shoulder, shot from where it landed 'til nail was driven thru. Soon, started tossing a rock instead, chalk wouldn't go far enough to make it a challenge.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Took all summer, and many thousand rounds of ammo, but we actually shot the house down. Then had to rent equipment anyway to clean up! Well worth it! The next spring, I took my first handgun turkey. 97 long steps over open, flat ground, with a 4&quot; .357 Magnum.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
