Would have loved to join you guys Manish but unfortunately I injured my knee last Sunday while I was out with the dogs.The MRI shows an ACL contusion with bone contusions on the Tibial condyles so I will be out of action for some time.
Ouch! Sounds like a sore knee for sure! Hope you heal up soon!

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Who brought the snake??

That's some nice handling there, by the way.
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

The rat snake got trapped in chiken wire and was rescued by Rohan who knows his way around snakes.

The rain god was kind to us. No scores were kept. Its way too early to do all that. Targets were placed at between 15 and 50 yds. which was within rules.
