Many moons ago when I was much younger and stronger and shot 50-100 rounds a day offhand I could punch out the X ring pretty consistently at 200 yards with my M1 and at 50 ft with my Win 52. Now that I'm older, weaker and lazier my shooting has gone down hill. I know I still shoot plenty well enough to kill everything I shoot at. Besides deer and other big game critters I enjoy taking my rimfire out in the fall and popping squirrels in the noggin when they stick their heads around a tree trunk or over a branch. Its good practice and exercise. I've also been known to dispatch a couple field mice at the cabin with my grandson's Red Ryder...
