I'm hooked
Okay, so, I shot highpower last night for the first time with the other guys at my club (Galt Sportsmens Club, Cambridge ON).
Awesome. I've been shooting smallbore for a year now, but that's like comparing a sunday drive to NASCAR. I'm 100% hooked. And that's only from shooting at scaled paper targets at 200 yds.

Re: I'm hooked
Jason is right. Knocking thoes animals over is much more fun than punching paper. But..... Shooting at paper does tell you a lot about where your hits and misses are going.

Re: I'm hooked
Glad to read your excitement about HP. What is your gun, cartridge, optics, etc.? And most importantly....how far do you have to drive to shoot steel?
Give me "NASCAR" anytime over the Sunday drive.

Re: I'm hooked
Ha, those Ben Avery rams are defective. Next time I choose to fire on BA rams with a .308 I will be using 220 gr. MK's !! I assume SPRTN308 has a .308, but you never know.

Re: I'm hooked
Come to think of it the dogs do need a bath ;) Saw Mom earlier, had coffee and it's supposed to be miserable here tomorrow (rain and 50MPH wind gusts) so I'll do some loading for that 6.5 that McAlice needsInnocent wrote:259..what are you doing on this late?

Re: I'm hooked
Now back to what caliber for SPRTN308 for HP, and do we have McAlice convinced to try a 6.5 yet?
