Apon reading this post Shots fired in 2010


I thought I'd make one of my own. Please feel free to post what caliber per kills. Pics get bonus points :D




Sofar I'm at:

24 with the .223
6 with the .17hmr
3 with the .22
1 with the .244


I'm sure the Alberta gunnutz have way more.
 
Not me, I've only got one in the van. The snow just left here this week and now we're in for another dump. Although I did see a rifle poking out of the window of a Honda on my way back to town yesterday. :D


Summary
Significant winter storm possible Saturday The potential for severe winter weather exists over these regions.



Details
A Pacific system is expected to push onshore today and move across the Rockies tonight. As a result snow and windy conditions will develop for southwestern regions of the province overnight tonight as upslope flow conditions intensify. By Saturday evening the warned regions will see 15 to 25 cm of snow with winds of 40 to 50 km/h expected in exposed areas accompanied by blowing snow. The storm will persist into Sunday. For areas further to the north and east, snowfall amounts are less certain associated with the track and intensity of the system. Additionally ground temperatures are fairly warm and a lot of the precipitation will likely melt on contact. Environment Canada will continue to monitor the situation and will update the watch regions as appropriate through the day today.

Sitting at a pleasant 45 total.
28 with my remington 597 yellowjacket with bushnell 1x32 trophy with cci blazers
17 with my savage bvts .17 with a 3x9x50mm bushnell
working at a rural warehouse that allows me to go out over lunch hour and shoot is excellent. They even buy my ammo!
 
Are you kidding??!! Do you know how much snow is out there? And you want pics??

I am at 73.

45 or so with 10/22 w/ Winchester Dynapoints, 4X 32mm Simmons Blazer Scope, ranges out to 75yds.
about 30 with Stevens 300 with Remington Cyclones, 3-9x40mm Tasco Scope, ranges 75-125yds.

But the snow is DEEP, even with snowshoes, I am sinking 8-12" in the snow. Without the snowshoes, the snow comes up above my knees. And it is HEAVY as well. I ain't walking 50 extra yards to photograph each gopher I shot. Are you crazy? My legs hurt just walking back and forth across the full section I am shooting. And I have proof I am shooting gophers. People called the RCMP to report me shooting within the town limits.
 
Ya bulls-eye, ya gonna shoot thet pretty gun or what??

My plain old Cooper LVT in 17HMR already has 250 rounds through it, and I have only had it a week. :p

See if that fancy Cooper of yours can keep up with my plain Cooper. Below is a five shot fifty yard group fired this morning.

WOW. I was not aware this was a Roast of Bull's-Eye! To be honest, yes, I am afraid of taking out the Cooper in less then stellar weather. It is going to be my fair weather gun :D.
That is one sweet group :eek:. I will try but if mine can't compete, I will just shoot a 25 yrd group and say it was 50 yards so I can save face :D
