Well, after a little stupidity yesterday, I injured my shoulder and now can't lift or move my right arm at all without significant pain, and my hand/arm are a bit swollen & off-colored. But I couldn't let that stop me from taking a peek outside for hogs.

And they cooperated.

A bit after 1 a.m, a group of shoats showed up at the feeder, and I was lucky enough to step outside while they were still there. Earlier today, we had to modify my shooting rest for now, and a gorilla bag across the tractor hood fit this one-armed shooter just fine.

Anyway, I had hoped for a double, but they wouldn't cooperate. So I picked by best shot presentation and sent a 130 grain Accubond through the neck of this little piggy. Suffice to say, she dropped on the spot.

Bobby the State of Texas owes you a debt of gratitude for your hog killing ways. I hope the arm heals quickly. Great shooting by the one armed bandit, but we've come to expect this.

Can you tell us about the light on top of your scope.

It's the Elusive Wildlife Technologies XLR 250 Kill Light in red. They come individually or as a kit, which includes charger, 2 batteries (uses 1) and mounting options. In really good conditions, it'll get you to 200 yards. But I consider it more of a 175 yard tool. They are quite small, and I prefer using the plastic mount which can attach/detach in a matter of seconds.

Good shooting- helps to be left-handed.

Mend well.

Thanks. Actually, I am right-handed but left eye-dominant.

Is there any glare in the scope from the light
mounted there?

Thanks,

Nice looking guns you have, quite a variety of colors too.

Glad you see you're still playing the game. Hope the shoulder isn't too badly hurt.

Looks like a perfect pig for the table, Bobby. Mend soon.
