For those who care, my sweetie and I are on the far right in the first pic. James is right, the squirrels seemed to be endless. I lost count of how many we whacked. I will say that a 100gr cast over 12.5 gr of W296 sure does a number on them. Russ, I trust Raton was another great time with good folks. -Kraig
