When I saw the thread title I assumed someone from the east did it with a custom 17 pistol without a scope freehand during a tornado. But I guess either way meh

Lmao. Nice shot man grin

That's a custom (redneck) piece of metal attached to a scope mount that I attach a flashlight with a magnet too. Makes it easy to spot light a few of this guys friends when they get in my wheat or garden.

Zeroed at 100. The scope is a BSA Sweet 17. I dialed it to 200 and let it fly. I didn't know the yardage til I got the wife to get my range finder and measure me where I was standing when I picked it up.

Sweet shot West...



To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
