450yards, one arm left handed

[boneaddict]

Great way to start the moning.   I've bee telling you guys where the coyotes are, but no one seems to be shooting them. Drinking coffee with the Mrs. and she spotted her yearly yote.  I grabbed the  first gun out of the gun safe and the first bullet.  COOL a match.   He was at 50 yards with my neighbors new house behind him, then 100 yards with my neighbors house nehind him.  Then behind my birch tree.  CRAP. I waited and waited for him to clear.  He was going to be at least 400 before I could see him again.  I was standing on my fron porch leaning against the house shooting one armed and left handed.  I waited and waited and was beginning to freeze, I let the gun down and of course then he came.  He stopped at 450 yards broadside.  I sent 150 frain Hornady (30-06)  his way.  Nailed him.  He spun about three times then headed around the hill.  We decided to gear up and go take a look.  Rose spotted him laying there.

I always loved the line in the movie Quigley Down Under where he shoots the guy with his pistol, just because I said I like the rifle better, it didn't mean I didn't know how to shoot a pistol....or something like that.  Just because I like my bow, it doesn't mean I don't know how to use a rifle.  L"OL    I don't know how you left handed guys do it though.  
Thanks guys!

ya you have got to be the luckiest sob on the planet, there is know way I could shoot anything left handed. I have tried and it did not turn out good at all, I think i was like 20 yards off or something like that.

You are definately a man of many talents. There are some that are good at whatever they lay there hands on, I think you fit the bill on that one.

I gave Slenk all winter to kill that *censored*.  Hes walked by the last three mornings (tracks in snow)  when I wasn't around to see him.  That will teach him, sometimes I am off during the week.  LOL     Yeah, that coyote wasn't ver big in that 7x Leupold.
Thanks Wapiti.  I had a GREAT coach.

After reading your message and seeing the exit hole, i am going to have to tell you that shooting a 30-06 with a 150 grain hornady with the trajectory and the angualtion of the exit hole that it was not a 450 yard shot, now I might give you 448-449 yards but not a tru 450 yards..

Nice shooting....

   I had about an 18 inch drop on that bullet.  I'll have to check the ballistic tables.  I'm just glad the first bullet I grabbed was a 150 instead of a 180,  or a 25-06 for that matter.
