Rock chucks
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2023 5:04 pm
Hello,
I haven't been shooting as much this season and haven't been here for a while. I've had some health problems but doing ok now. I went out and shot a few chucks in May, think I got 9 and missed one that time. My buddy took the wrong gun so he just spotted for me. We went back yesterday to get some shooting in before it starts getting too hot. Might reach 100 here next week. Yesterday was a good day for shooting rock chucks, no wind at all, overcast and in the mid 70's. My buddy brought the right gun this time. We found a good spot and just spent the day in that one place. I was shooting my Ruger # 1, 218 Bee, AKA "Deadly Do Right
", 40 gr. V Max's. I got 7 for the day and missed one. I don't know how I did that it was a perfect 200 yd. shot and I was dead on him. Brent was shooting a Mini Howa, .223. He got 8 for the day and missed one. I didn't get any pictures, they're up in rough, rocky areas where my 73 yr. old arthritic body can't go anymore. It was a very enjoyable day and good to get out after them again.
