Brent,

I'm down in central Mo. working off the phone line so this is more than just painstaking. However, in answering your question on the subject of off hand shooting, Ihave been a proponent of this for a time now. I'm on the shoot committee and really like the off hand stuff. My friend Tom (Wy) is a very gifted off hand shooter. He tells me to "catch it on the wobble". Well, if 'ol Tom comes on over to Alliance we'll see about the wobble stuff.

OK, more to the point.

I like off hand shooting and will do all I can to inroduce more in our shooting venues or scenarios.

Have I told you that I really like off and shooting.

Jerry, I haven't heard from you yet, are you gonna call me in MO? You got the phone number.

George,
Thanks for the note. Glad to hear that you think a few offhand targets would be possible. Alteratively, they could be made "any position" without sticks. Imagine prone or sitting but no sticks. That's the sort of thing that pops up all the time in the field hunting real flesh and blood. I can't think of how many times I've had elk or deer - even in the timber - offer an "opportunity" and the nearest rest is 20 ft away. Might as well be 20 miles away.

Anyhow, I'll be happy with whatever you guys come up with. Time now to go back to load recalibration - I am switching powders this year.

Saul,
That .50 with 110-115 gr 1F and a 710 gr bullet aint bad, it weighs 14+lbs. It's a Pussy Cat compared to the .45-3-1/4. I just dont shoot it prone much.
