Our first gopher shoot of the year was fantastic. Three of us averaged 1 shot/min for seven hours straight. Closest shot was eight feet and the longest verified kill was 459 yards. We could have shot much further but there were soooooo many targets closer. The 65gr. V-Max from the 6x45 always provides for plenty of air time and "blowing chunks" as my daughter puts it. The baby rats are out and will completely vanish when my daughter connects with the 40gr. V-Max. We did not relocate during the shoot; there were rats every where, including under the car.
