You gotta get closer my man. +1 to the blind idea. On the other hand I'll bet that artillery shot was satisfying!

I think it would be fun to try! I know my 5.7 hits great at 100 yards ot still targets like tree stumps. Thompson Contender makes rifle caliber pistols that could make the shot, add a scope and a bipod it doesnt sound so impossible. Still very challenging, but think about the bragging rights!

The last 6by mulie I killed with a T/C in a wildcat .6mmx.284 was in 94 and it was 268 lazer yds.Had a 12"bbl and made a one shot kill. sam.

Maybe you could just get the rest of the sheep that live in NJ, to vote out those idiots, and put some people in office that might have a brain. ok, real world again. Trap them, then ups them to the people that voted for the gun bans. Use a connibear trap, and they are dead when you get there, not as much fun to ups them, but alot easier on the big brown truck. I have been reading about air guns being really advanced, but I don't think you can have those either. I don't much like the idea of poison, though I think the renting out chairs to watch might be a good idea? Maybe make it more challengeing though, set up a pumpkin chunking caterpult, and have some fun.
