The .204 "Launch Factor"

Post by Rick in Oregon »

Here's a shot of Skippy learning to jump, courtesy of the 204. Not the highest launch, as good pics are hard to get, but a good launch nonetheless.

I put a motor drive on my 35mm camera, and got some good "launch sequences" that day too. Who said you can't have fun with rodents? :lol:

Skippy is learning to jump pretty well. The 204 must be a good teacher!

Rick, are the sage rats out now in Oregon? Great pictures. It is great when a plan comes together. I hope to be in your area at the end of March. Hopefully we can get together and I can see one of your benches. :pals:

Nice shot Rick. Are you launching skippy with 32's or another weight bullte?

I just picked up a 250 count box of Hornedy's 32 grainers from Midway for 29 bucks plus shipping.

I think we can count "horizontal height" as well, flippin' Skippy 30 feet to the west has to count for something :P .
