    Because that's about all that would damage it at six hundy at my place.

    Nothing a splash of paint wouldn’t help with. A number of years ago I was fortunate enough to have long range targets peppered across the open slash country of @Barefoot ‘s felled forestry block. I really enjoyed shooting up there as the topography of the valleys meant that you were constantly challenged by the swirling wind which could be left to right at the end of your barrel but right to left at the target. Sometimes shooting up there you could pick up the glint of the sun on the copper bullet and watch it snake its way toward the target as it passed through differing cross winds.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
