Dogboy, I was talking about the trees. There are some mountians in Texas and also catus too but not where I grew up hunting, wrong side of the state. Clint, I have to admit the BSing is interesting and informative,  especially with Dogboy whispering in my ear. LOl I am really excited about making the hunt this year. Sean

I'm glad to see you fellas comming. But man you've all got to attend the egg shoot if it is at all possible. From what I've seen so far there aren't many shooters signed up and the prizes are something special ... Like last year ... If your thinking about attending the shoot will take place on Thursday at 11:00am. I know I'm shooting, can't say as I'll be lucky enough to win, but your going to have to beat "ME" to take the gun home this year.

Most guys, and that includes me, don't shoot competition. I've shot in some fun long range matches off a serious bench rest, but this is entirely different. It's set up so everybody has a chance to win. Very much like shooting in a hunting situation. Honestly, my win last year was .... almost .... pure luck.

me and my partner are shooting in the egg shoot ,,,,, Is every body shooting there predator guns??? guns they hunt predators with every day??
or are we talking custom guns with big scopes , hand loads and custom triggers, guns that rarely make it out in the field....
No matter ,,, it will take a gun like that to beat my box stock AR and factory loads

Well, mine isn't exactly stock .... but it has been out in the field killin' PD's an other stuff like that.
"Almost" = More luck than skill, for me it was like shooting a bouncing ball on a stick. Shooting an egg in the wind would have been largely a lucky shot, then the distance all make luck a large factor in hitting an egg. I suppose skilled shooters have an advantage, but in the long run luck will play a larger part, bacically anybody has the oppertunity to win. Speaking for myself, I haven't shot that rifle since the egg shoot last year. For me trigger time has been very difficult to find.
