Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I think there's some Zen going on here. RR and that Frontier are one. :D

Fantastic shooting RR.

You and that rifle make a heck of a team that's for sure.

You know - I look at your targets in awe - then I think “and that’s with a round ball.” Quite possibly the most difficult projectile to consistently put on a target. Makes me wonder how much better you really are than your targets are showing. Well done.

Long barrel, sights dialed in. That helps for sure. The wind too is a huge factor depending on the day. But thank you!
