This past Sat I participated in a well sponsored Range Competition. It was the standard 200m springbuck, 100m Impala, 48m warthog and 5 gongs.
I shot full score up till the warthog and then blew it. I just cannot seem to find the right build for standing shots. I just needed an average score to win....so I am really peed off about this as first prize was a custom built varmint rifle!
 
It was cold and rainy day with a 15 mph cross wind.
 
There was also a shotgun and bow competition, which I entered just for fun.
 
Anyway, enjoy the pics.

You'd think a Warthog wouldn't be that hard to hit since they move pretty slowly. But there are two problems:

1) You won't do much damage and 2) He's going to shoot back! Big Smile



Reaction time is a factor...

8's, they sure do it right.  Heck, even your trap houses are brick.  Over here they are poured or cinder block.  Looks like fun.  How did you do with the bow and scatter gun?  Bummer you missed out on the the new gun.

Looks like fun.  I miss doing the 3d archery shoots.  Always had a lot of fun with them.
