Scott and I are heading out this morning to shoot pigeons in New Mexico. We will be posting some progress each day. Also I am giving him a new Indian name: “He who thinks like rifle”.

How many people do you know that can shoot 100 birds (pigeons & grackles) and 2 ground squirrel in 2 hours? I know of 2, Scott & Chuck. We stopped early because it started raining. I must give some credit to Monkeyshine because we shot 600 birds in two days in May but he was mad at them. Scott is shooting my old Verminator.22 which hasn’t been used in 2 yrs. I’m using the Daystate Redwolf and I’ve got to say I’m liking it. My longest today was 92 yds, a grackle DRT. Scott will use my unregulated FX 500 tomorrow & do some filming. I may use the regulated 500. Having fun wish you were here.

We had a big day today shooting a total of 489 birds. We also picked up 4 more ground squirrels. We are shooting mostly pigeons but we also love to target grackles. We generally only shoot collared dove when we want some to eat but they have plenty here. Scott broke his personal best with 139 yd shot pigeon kill. This wasn’t a shot he walked in either, it was 1 shot kill at 139 yds. I made 2 shots over 90 yards left handed and I’m a right handed shooter.
