Gun enthusiasts anything from Hunting to target shooters.

[Hayden Goseek]

It is opening day of gun season here in AL and I decided to try hunting with my revolver this morning. I woke up a little later than I planned but I was able to get setup in my ground blind about 15 minutes before legal light. About an hour later I had a doe come out and she stood broadside 27 yards. I shot her square in the shoulder with a handloaded 240gr XTP bullet. She took off running into a pine thicket and I heard her crash shortly after.

I waited about 30 minutes then slowly followed the very good blood trail through a narrow trail into the thicket. She ended up running 90yds and expired right in the middle of a fire break at the edge of the thicket. This is my first handgun kill so I was pretty excited. Can't wait to get a few more and make some sausage....

Guess I'm the only target shooter here...? Anyone else shoot competitively? I've done IDPA and am in the Expert class in Bullseye pistol. I haven't competed in a looonnnng time, due to money constraints.

Used to shoot in local pistol club. Haven't in many yrs. Do to the ammo shortage, I'm not doing any plinking.

Yup. And ammo for competitive Bullseye Pistol is expensive even in good times. I really need to get into reloading and make my own. Some day...

Hey, dry fire is free!

Good luck finding a press, let alone powder, primers or bullets. I've got several boxes for everything I own

i did skeet or trap shooting once not sure what one.

long story short i got like 20 or 21 out of 25, the safety officer there (who was my teacher for fire arm safety) said i was a natural, and told me to keep at it. as this was my first time shooting a shotgun.
now only if that helped me hit birds when hunting. as i don't even want to know my percentage of shots fired to birds down. (maybe 1 or 2 for every box)
