Love my Oboz best shoes I have ever worn.
They give the best arch support of any shoes I’ve worn. I currently have five different Oboz although four are two pair exactly the same. I switch between the same kind pair so they get an extra day to dry.

The five pair doesn’t include two older worn out pair like the ones in the picture. I save them as mud shoes.
I’m surprised the mud didn’t suck those shoes right off your feet. :lol:

These gongs are sure a lot of fun. The traps were way to big to challenge myself to make it fun. The larger gong is about the same size as the traps but the smallest gong makes me concentrate.

I shoot rimfire offhand at 35 yards mostly. Sometimes I’ll get back to 50 but the van can’t be parked in the driveway.

Did a little afternoon gong plinking this afternoon. Took the Rossi 45 colt out for a little spin. These 250 gr MB co rfn over 8.5 grs of unique and I was slapping all the steel. Hardly missed even the 4" ones. Found 20 195 swc's that were loaded over 6.5 grs of Red dot and could only hit the bigger gongs with them. But I did move farther back, to the picnic table, but was also leaning on one elbow while earlier shooting just offhand.
