He is hoping to get a shot at a hog or doe this weekend. He is pretty good out to about 20 yards. After shooting for about an hour today he said dad get the camera and take some pictures so you can post on THF. LOL His last 3 shots for today at 20 yards. He was trying to shoot the bull eye of each of the 3 targets across the middle. Almost got all of them.

We can not shoot in the back yard anymore because my neibor lets his horses run around back there.. I do not live in the city the house across the road from us is 125 yards away and like i said IT IS EMPTY NO ONE LIVES THERE...

If i ever post a picture of him shooting his rifle in the front yard with the house in the back you can give me a lecture then... I have buddies that live in Rockwall that shoot there bows in there front yard with houses 100 feet away.. I do not agree with that because of safety.... ITS AN EMPTY FREAKING HOUSE
