Got my Contender Back !!
« on: February 18, 2005, 02:20:11 PM »
I can't believe I almost let my Contender go for a Rifle.
It is a 14" .223
Went to the range today and was hitting the 200yd. 12" gong almost every shot, open sight's :-D . Was in the sitting position shooting off my knee's. I am not usually a very good shot without a sand bag, but I think I'm getting better.
Now I need more barrel's :shock:

Yes, you need more barrels.
You also need to find a local gun club shooting silhouette.    Those 12" gongs are not near as fun as a steel chicken that falls over or flies when you hit it!!

Shoot Steel!!
