I think I am finally getting the hang of this handgun thing. Spent the day at the farm and did some pesting. I missed the first squirrel the first shot as it was high up in a sycamore tree and only its head was showing, got it with the second shot. The starling was in the top of a tree at 20-25 yards. The first squirrel and starling were shot using a two hand hold resting on the well house roof. The other squirrel was shot using a two hand hold with no rest. Four shots today and three kills left me with a good feeling. I still need a lot of practice to consider myself a hand gunner though.

Good shooting!

Good on ya, Teep. Tell us a little about your rig there.

Good shooting but what are you shooting.

It's a S&W 617 with a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot sight. I was shooting Aquila HVHP ammo. I really don't like the TRS and plan on replacing it with a Vortex Venom soon to match my S&W 686. I have really been impressed with the accuracy of both the 617 and 686. At one time I did quite well with handguns, an original Contender. but quit shooting powder for about 40 years. I started back into handguns two years ago and found that 70 year old eyes and open sights didn't go together. The red dots have helped a lot but I don't have the muscle tone to really steady a handgun anymore but I will continue to try. I did manage a 3" ten shot group at 25 yards using a two hand hold, eight were within 2" so there is hope.

Good Shooting, small game is always fun for me.

PM sent.

Nice rig,and good shooting,I'm looking at at the venom also,they have great reviews

Teep, That's good shooting. Looks like you are having fun. Try a shooting stick or bipod to steady your rest. It helps a lot and they can double as a walking stick to steady you when you need it. Quite a few of us are younger than you but we use a stick to walk about. For serious distance shooting I use a Bog Pod tripod as do many of the guys on this forum. Keep whacking those pests!

Good shooting
