On, Canada
I was able to sneak away a go to my buddies place up north. Last time I was there we cut down about a dozen trees to open his range. What a difference.
That bug thing under the tripod was flawless, not one bug.

He now has targets back to 72 yds. He only shoots iron sights but rim fire. I bought the Vickers falling block just to shoot with him. Honestly I like my springers. This is my view for my bench.

The two yellow square plates top Center is 72 yds. away. With the Vickers I brought two keepers a HW97 .20 and a HW90 .20. Did I ever say these two were special? I took advantage of the long distance because my range only goes to 47 yds. I’m not the best shot. Here’s two 15 shot groups 72 yds with the 90.

Always a great time. 3 hours of driving for 4 hours of shooting.
Still wasn’t enough. Got home, washed up ate and went back on my range with the 97 .20 again.

Two more hours of shooting. Finished at 9 PM and still light out. Here’s a 5 shot group at 35 yds. The spinners is 3/4 in.

Nice shootin' Crow! Looks like a great range. Thermacell makes some great products. They really keep the mosquitos at bay. If anyone is looking for a good mosquito repellent, look no further!

Long range is fun and challenging.
I enjoyed it. I can get any distance at my place but not off my porch, which I never stray from. Crow

Thanks. Range gets better with age. Not 1 bug in cabin . Mosquitoes and Deer flies once you step out. Thermacell 👍. I have one as well. Crow

Nice shooting 🎯
Thanks. Crow

KYL is "Know Your Limits " a saw horse looking target with smaller and smaller spinners . You get a point for each target and you call stop before you miss . When you miss you get "0" hence "KYL"
