Feb 25-26 First Rat Shoot Crane Or

Just returned from a 2 day shoot near Crane, Oregon. Weather was cold and windy with a few snow showers, but, the rats were up. Hard to hit with a 25-30 mph cross wind but we managed to get quite a few. Had to shoot from inside the Yukon. Just to cold to be outside for any length of time, so we didn't get a chance to use the shooter rests. I shot my .17 HMR for about 15 rounds but decided not to waste my expensive ammo in the wind so switched to the Remington .22. Worked out pretty good because you had to hold 12-16 inches into the wind at about 100 yds to connect. Usually took 2 or 3 shots to get the range. And, of course, as soon as you did, a gust of wind would come up and you'd miss. Good trip with some good friends. Will return soon.
