:jacked:

I thought about getting a full mount done.

My favorite is a low body shot and when they fly up in the air about 4 feet spinning.

Post by: boneaddict on May 26, 2008, 08:39:20 PM: That would be fun with the 30-30 or any of the old winchesters. Send him up in the air and try to hit him again on the way down.

Post by: Ray on May 26, 2008, 08:41:29 PM: That's what Joe was using. He was also armed with a nice .22 revolver. He has good eyes and was able to get more than anybody. Gotta have quick reflexes too.

Post by: boneaddict on May 26, 2008, 08:45:01 PM: Thats one reason I went withthe 410. Less worries about stray bullets too, but I could get them on the run. I wish I was that good with the .22.

Looks like he's got a little "Captain" in him.
