Morning Rockchuck Walkabout
Woke up to a nice warm and sunny day yesterday, so figured it was a good opportunity to take my Cooper 221 'Furball' for a walk in the sage and junipers. A small ranch near home has a number of 100 year old rock piles that have become chuck condo's, so I set up about 150 yards away with my Furball a...

Re: PDog Shootin’
Good job there, Rex. Keeping us all in "Rat Mode" at this time of year is a very good thing.
Glad you were able to get out, and thanks for sharing the adventure with the crew here. Looking forward to your next outing and maybe seeing your rifle and setup.

Re: The Annual 2024 Rat Rodeo
Well there, Allen, glad you were able to make the trip up to Orygun for more fun this year again. Thinking about your 500 mile drive reminded me of shooting PD's in WY, MT and SD and those long drives that shooting them involves. With the price of fuel now, having great rat shooting right here at ho...

Re: 2024 Small Caliber Five Shot Challenge
They're might be a few who don't see the bullseye and only focus on the varmint on the page Bill. There's a bullseye there? All my brain saw when opening this post was a RAT! :eek: Some brains are conditioned much differently than others, my wife tells me I've got what she calls "Rat Brain&quo...

Re: Alliant Powders Suspended Shipments Of Smokeless Powders For Reloading
Bad news. Most likely due to the world-wide shortage of nitrocellulose right now. Thanks for posting, Jim. :wtg: That's probably due to the crap going on in Ukraine and Isreal. I'll be glad when the world returns to 'normal'.....as if that could ever happen. :? Glad I laid in a good stash of all the...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
They're going to feel slighted if I post a target with my full custom rig and hand loads. Exactly why I said it's a conundrum. So Skipper, how are you gonna sort this out? :chin: No matter the decision, someone is going to feel shorted, no matter what rules are in place. I hope this all gets sorted...

Re: Rockchuck Condo
Well Secret Code , spring is here, along with rain and mud. Those croc's need to be exchanged at this time of year with some boots by the looks of it where you are. Bet you didn't wear those boys into the house! :eek: And it appears the 32gr Varmageddon is NOT wabbit friendly either! Almost duplicat...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
What I'm asking is what separates a factory from a custom rifle. We have had numerous members say they didn't want to compete against a full custom rifle with a factory offering. Where's the line between factory and custom?? Always a difficult decision. Suppose someone has a factory rifle with an a...

Re: Storms in Cypress, Texas
Glad you mostly weathered the storm, Skipper. Hope your bike was not too badly damaged from the knock-over. High winds are amazing when seen up close and personal. After surviving two raging typhoons in the western Pacific, I have much respect for those winds ever since. You were fortunate to not ha...

Re: Rockchuck Condo
SecretCode : Looks like another good time afield. There's nothing like a solid hit on a ground squirrel and the resultant rat-o-batics they give. Always a fun sight. A wabbit is just icing on that cake when out n' about with your rifle. As for jackwabbits, many times while out shooting grass rats, ...

Rockchuck Condo
Spring has finally sprung here on the high desert. That means it's time for rockchucks once again. I was out scouting about with my camera looking for new hides and spotted this chuck mom with her three new pups in what appears to be a large chuck condo in a rock berm not far from the house. It's in...

Re: Upcoming Small Caliber Competition News
Sounds good Skipper, and I'm sure there will be many members that will submit targets this year.
Question: You mention 'small caliber(s)'. Can you define exactly what that entails for this competition?
