i shot a doe this year at about 100 yards standing freehand....dropped her in her tracks...if youve ever seen jeremiah johnson remember when bearclaw jack or whatever his name is...the Grizz hunter...is teaching him and he shoots that elk....well it dropped the same way......it was a mighty nice shot i think....my normal shots are about 30yards so that was a "far one" for me....and standing free hand too...i knew my squirrel hunting would come in handy.....speaking of squirrel hunting i shot one about 75yards away...i was sitting above a ravine i could see clear to a creek about 100yards away....and the ravine has a tiny feeder in it....well i was there about 30 mins and seen nothing....but i was tired..didnt want to walk and had a comfy spot and knew squirrels used it often.....so i decided to enjoy the day and wait...maybe a deer would come by or something to watch if nothing else....well out of nowhere i seen a big tree rat.....about 75yards down the ravine...pulled up the 22....said no way...i figured it would drop...aimed right for the top of his head(take account for SOME drop...) squeezed one off...heard the shot....then heard the thud....then watched him fall right into the feeder.....it was crazy....i thought i missed then i heard it hit...it wasnt a long time but long enough to get the oh no i missed feeling....bullet hit right between the eyes i do believe......dang nice shot for a 22 with a cheap tasco 4x scope......
