WOW
Now stretch it out to 500 yards and report back.
Lets see your targets & groups.
Nice shooting danc46.
Back in the days when I could bench 400 lbs, run two miles in 12 minutes, I could stand on the line and hit the ram at 500 meters with iron sights almost every time I pulled the trigger on my 1903 Remington.
Now, 35 years later, all I can do is remember those days. I'm not near the shot now I was then. Not even as good as I was 5 years ago.
His gonna have the same problem as he gets older.
It's the natural order of things.
I know when I was at my best, I was the best.
Now, all I can do is hope to recapture a portion of my accuracy from back then.
Right now, any deer or coyote that stands still within 500 yds is dead if I have my old Rem 700 30/06 (on it's third barrel and fourth stock) and I'm in my truck.
I'm still the best under those conditions.
Practice makes perfect.
That big buck I checked in, I have no idea what those tire marks across his neck came from.
I know I dropped him when I hit him in the back of the head at 499 yds.
And that wasn't powder burns where the bullet hit. It was just dirt.
So even at his very best, Shadow still can't compete with me.
