[/quote]Let put it this way. last time I went to Fox,Oregon just North of John Day,Oregon on a two day hunt I shot 5000 rounds of 22lr. through my Ruger Side Slab 6-7/8" handgun with a Millet red dot scope on it. Ranges from 3ft. to 80yds. with non stop shooting. Heck I tride to take a lunch break on the tailgate of the pickup and they just kept popping up as close as 3ft. away. By the end of the day the hawks love you and are circling around you.

Boy no kidding about the sunburn, if you use a shooting bench the sun reflects off it right on your face. It doesn't take long to get a burn.
