Well at least I've got that off of my chest. | Elmer Kieth claimed he could hit an outhouse with a 6" .44 special revolver at 500 yards, and I tend to believe the man. But 2" groups at 600? That seems somewhat far-fetched.
BTW: I'd be lucky to hit the outhouse at 100 yards myself, my kidneys aren't what they used to be.  |

It does get pretty deep on these forums sometimes. I have to change my house shoes for boots. Once in a while, bring in my step ladder. Some of the other formums don't have a humor section. They don't think it's needed, with all the "jokes" spread through-out.  | |

Just remember, the 1911 platform can kill you. The 10/22 is the most viable survival rifle, and the AK47 pistol is a piece of useless junk !! I know these things because I read them here !!

Elmer Keith is one of my heroes.
And is the one person (inventor) who got me addicted to the .357. (favorite handguns)
Both Elmer & Bill Jordan, also got me hooked on the Model 19 & 29.
Elmer Keith has been dead longer.
Than some members here, have been alive.

HA! | HA to you! I can shoot two guns in each hand, two with each foot, and use, simultaneously mind you, my own supremely viable invention of a handgun swivel sling that lets me use my ears for the trigger action. With these 8 guns I can take out an ant on a pie plate at 300 yards, in a strong gale wind and pouring rain.

I will very eagerly admit that the last time I had to shoot the SAW range I never hit the 700 meter target. I couldn't find the damn thing and never saw it. LoL So its true... ya just can't hit what you can't see.
