longest conection to date - 07/08/2012 5:28 PM

hunted chucks again today. spotted this one out in a field near my parents place. tried to ambush it once with no success. on my way out of the driveway I look over and there it is again. well I am not going back out to ambush it again so I set up in the driveway. my rangefinder would not read earlier so while on my first walk I ranged to the trees at 300 yards. I was another 330 yards past my range tree. total of 630 yards. wind was minimal and straight on. im using the applied ballistics by Brian Litz so I entered the data and made the corrections. 14.2 MOA up and .4 left. this one looked very small and far away with a 14x scope! I touched it off (muffs on of coarse) and came back into the scope as I saw dust fly. I think miss but im one who always goes and checks no matter what im shooting at. I walk out there to a stone dead chuck with bean sprouts still in her mouth and a neck wound. the bullet penetrated and expanded. she did not go any were! as odd as it sounds ill be getting this one mounted. im still amazed I connected on the first shot. I want to say thanks to all those who put their knowledge of these SP's out there.

Great shooting Tyler.

Would you mind sharing the type of handgun you have, the caliber and barrel length and the make & model of the scope you used for this wonderful shot.

Thank you.

Can't wait to see it mounted!
Full body or shoulder mount?

thinking of a standing full body. have to see if they can do a short bean field base. it should make a good conversation piece when I can have a true man cave/trophy room some day. until then ill stick it on my gun safe to keep the cats from picking fights with it!
