broken grips

[Gary Laudermilch]

At our club we hold a running deer shoot every weekend in November. The target runs at 100 yards and about the speed a real deer might run. Two markers 60 yards apart and the shooter is to fire two shots between the markers. Lots of time for bolt gun users.

I have a Ruger No. 1 in 7x57 and have been working up the moxie to try it on the running deer. I practiced at home with dummy rounds to perfect a technique that might enable me to reload fast enough to get off a second aimed shot. This past fall I finally gave it a try and to the wonder of all in attendance I not only managed to get the two shots off but got them on target. Now that was fun!
