RE: Rifle practice
Rick, thanks for the routine, I think I'll try it.
One thing that I haven't tried but have all the gear for is a fast clothes-line. We plan to put one pulley behind a giant rock so that the puller will be safe and can move a target through the bush simulating a pushed deer.
Most of our swing practice comes before deer season at waterfowl, but we do shoot trap and pop cans.
Like Rick I'm in the thick stuff in Ontario, when I sighted my new .308 in at 100yrds I was surprised at how far away that was, I doubt I've ever shot at game further away than 40 yrds before. I'm truly amazed when I read posts about 400yrd shots, I'd have to shoot across a lake to have that kind of line of sight where I hunt.
