i would say. i haven't shot a pile of guns...just the 7mm, 10-12g, and 22's. oh yes, and the hurting 300...but i was younger then...

 

Yeah I remember the first time I shot a 30-06. It gave me a shock! I was pretty young too!

 

yep, the first time is a bugger...the anticipation of how much it will hurt...

 

Yeah that is the worst part, worse then the actual recoil!

 

yeah, true true. the first shot of the year is always a guarenteed miss...lousy nerves. this year there'll be some time made for practise shooting

 

Thats when ya train with a 22, shells are much cheaper

 

yup...got some training to do tomorrow morning...damn magpies are eating my pet robin's eggs... gonna have a parleh with them...

 

Good luck, those magpies are crafty!

 

no kidding. they must have seen me walking home last night with the gun...didn't see them this morning...i was sitting out there like one of the Clampetts...

 

Yep they do that. I remember one time I was trying to shoot one, I brought my gun out, and put a shell in, but when i moved the bolt, damn bird was gone. Next time I walked out there with the gun loaded, and the damn bird knew, he flew away as soon as he seen me!

 

yep...they know death when they see it comming...

 

You betcha they do, they are one smart annoying bird!

 

they hid their nests pretty good this year too...F-I-L usually finds them and demolishes them and whatever's in them. oh well...good hunting practise.

 

Yep excellent practice!

 

That is why you use camo. My wife shakes her head when I am dressed up in my gillie suit to try to shoot a crow.

Or snipe them from 300 yards with a 222. The hardest part about that is not giggilling while you are aiming
