Busy drilling wells!

More worried about archery at the moment, but I did take the time to meet a couple of newbies to the sport up at Ridgway. Tagged the bowling ball at 902 yards on the first two shots with the 7 RUM.

I called my buddy over who never shot that far before to pull the trigger, and he ended up hitting the ball on his first shot too. Moved on back to 968 yards on a steal gohper. Just missed the head by a couple inches, but it was a dead deer for sure.

I had a good time walking the new guys through the process. I only really shot about 5 times and hit pretty much everything I was shooting at out to 970 yards, so I called it a day and spotted for the rest of the fellows. Sure was a hoot watching the one guy shoot that 21" barreled .338 at 970 yards.

Other than that, can't wait for archery season in 5 days. Getting ready for winter, cutting and spitting wood, checking trail cams, hanging stands...usual fall activities for me
