Ham and Bacon Shoot September 25, 2016

Sunday was the last Ham and Bacon Shoot of 2016 for the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors. It was held at the California Hill Gun Club. We all had a great day and I would like to thank all of the participants and volunteers who came out to make the shoot fantastic.

Although I did not win any of the shoots, I did manage to come in second place a few times. The shotgun, sip n puff trigger and mount, all worked out great to provide a steady shooting platform.

Range

I am not an Olympic shooter. I limit my hunting shots to 200 yards. Most of my shots are well under 150 yards. Each of us have different abilities, and depending on conditions and our preparation, our range limits will change. What range do you feel comfortable taking a shot on game?

My Opinion

This is a dangerous time in America and for that matter the world. Shootings are happening every day in cities across America, police officers are being attacked and are involved in shootings. What should be simple traffic stops are resulting in shootings. It remains to be seen if all of the shootings are justified. However, I support the thousands of great officers on the job, working to protect and serve our needs every day.
