Summer Celebration

[Woodchuk]

Just got home from college on summer break, and I'm already thinking about the coming squirrel season.  This year I plan to utilize two different firearms for the chase.  A Ruger Super Single Six and a S&W K-22 Masterpiece.  So, being fairly new to handgunning, I set out yesterday to get them both sighted in just the way I want 'em.  Then I took 'em for a walk through the woods on the lookout for some various targets to test them out on (tree branches, knots, fungus, etc.)  It's gonna be a challenge for squirrels this coming season, but I've still got plenty of time to practice and that's where I'm off to now.  :lol:

Went out again today after dinner for some more target work, both formal and informal...For the informal work I shot at a golf ball.  Just about the size of a squirrel's head so I figured it'd be good practice.  Plus, it jumps around quite a bit when hit.  Spent the evening chasing it all across the field...The further away it got the harder it was to hit...After noticing it was getting on towards dusk I decided to swap out the .22lr cylinder on the Ruger for the .22WMR.  Boy that golf ball sure hopped around when hit with those suckers...Only problem I had shooting the .22WMR is that it made me realize how much I need a bigger revolver.  Something with a little more oomph.  Maybe a .45...I'll have to go window shopping this weekend... :lol:
