On any New Year's Day!

[Marcruger]

That looks like so much fun and friendship Taylor.  I wish I lived nearby......well, at least in summer months.   ;-) 

My great uncle used to hunt Fleming Lake in BC.  I have a set of his moose antlers over my fireplace even now. 

I have a friend of Norwegian descent who fished out of Prince Rupert.  His dad had moved there from northern Norway to get a better climate! 

Your lovely friend sure looks attached to you sir.   :-) 

Best wishes,   Marc

Here's another young lady, shooting her Full Stock Hawken - .58.

 


Here's one of Kim shooting her .50 flinter.



Another one of Jodi shooting her FS Hawken .58.



Yes - the orange fox target is down that shooting lane 92 yards away.



Sometimes the foliage makes seeing the targets a bit more difficult- especially after firing - for a while if no wind in the bush.

On this one- you can see a dark stump in the snow- about 95 yards away. Above that dark stump, is an orange bunny- about the size of snowshoe hare, hanging on a chain. It is not a large target, yet some times, most everyone in the group will smack it.   At one of our rendezvous, everyone in the SB group ahead of us hit it - all 6 of them.

Gracious!  Some good-shooting folks in lovely countryside.  Best wishes,   Marc

Ditto re the good shooting! After looking at all of that snow, this old southern boy is going to put another chunk in the stove.

LOL- we've been told it's a hard course - certainly more 90 to 110yard targets than any other I've shot. Practice is good.  The late Elmer Keith once noted, hitting at "long range" is purely accidental.  If you practice at those ranges, you'll have more long range accidents than someone who doesn't.

Elmer was referring to shooting handguns, but his statement holds for rifles as well, of course.

I know my old eyes couldn't pick out the fox or the bunny in the pics; and probably not on the ground, either.

If you use a PC - hold the ctrl button down and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse, or press the + key.  Pressing the - key while holding the ctrl button down will reduce the size. Holding the ctrl button down and pressing the zero key: 0, will return your screen to it's original size.

The fox, a mere 92 yards is actually not a difficult target. Due to the 'glow' of the paint, most people think it's a coyote - It's about 50% smaller than a coyote should be.

Even if you use the scroll wheel on the mouse to increase or decrease the picture/page size, holding the ctrl button and pressing the 0 key will return the page to it's proper size.

Finally saw it; it worked.  Thanks, Daryl.

Welcome- on the rabbit target and using the enlarging feature, you can easily see the stump or log end with the snow on it, then above that is a vertical black line. That is the bunny target and it's chain. It is on a fairly severe angle- sometimes if just doesn't stop square to the shooting line - of well - "it's YOUR shot, shoot them as they lay"!
