Running Deer with a DR!!
Well, I took my home built 45-100 DR with the Merkel frame to the local gun club turkey shoot. Lots of comments like what the hell is THAT?? Guy running the running deer event says we're having a special run---two shots at the deer target while it's running between the two trees. Great, I got yer two shots right here! Won the turkey on the first entry, got two shots in the 9 ring on the 100 yd target they staple on the deer. Second entry, I put one in the 10 ring, and the second west of Cleveland, I think. They wouldn't accept my story that they went through the same hole...... Roll Eyes

I've had the same reaction from some doubters regarding my better shooting exploits. Confused Worse, when I offer to repeat my performance and put two through the same hole they just don't want to see it! Big Grin

For two quick shots the double is hard to beat...

I've got two semi-autos like this that work great if you need to put some lead down range in a hurry..... jumping

How dare they doubt the word of a Catskill woodsman....

Will you be attending anymore local shoots?

Like to check that rig out....

I'm just on the other side of the river from you...

ps "ftondrus" that's just a shameful plug to try to sell something like that....IMO

nothing is shameful except in the eyes of the beholder.

evil is he who thinks of it - you.

incidentially - shooting at running deer is a requisite to getting your hunting license in scandinavian countries. double rifles are a prefered weapon for this.
