FWIW, I shot a 105 at Bristow Manor today. It's off my list. I lost nine
balls. Not a happy camper.
I have never shot that well. I only gave it up when I hurt my
shoulder, I enjoyed the game. I had a farm and I used to lose twenty
or more 25 cent shag balls a day. The practice didn't help much. Golf
balls don't effect a combine. They are built to handle small rocks.

Last week, once I warmed up, I shot 10 4" groups offhand at 15 yards
with a friend's new six-shooter. His expensive new six-shooter. I
usually shoot at 25 yards, but six-shooters aren't as accurate for me.

Oh, wait...you guys are discussing bad golf scores.

That kind of shooting is better than minute of badguy. I used to have
a 22 range in my barn. Bullet trap in front of a wall of stacked
concrete blocks. I shot for the heads on playing cards at 5 yards or
so. Rabbits can be shot sitting, of course, with any good pistol, it
doesn't have to be a S&W model 41 target pistol like I used. Actually
rabbits should be hunted by two guys, one with a rifle for head shots
on sitting ones, and the shotgun man handles the runners. Let them get
out to non mangle range. Idea is to hit them with a dozen pellets, and
many more won't help. Go to bigger shot instead if you have magnum
ammo with a heavy charge. Cottontails are good eating, the younger the
better. My cat once bought me seven Norway rat sized live rabbits
which I fried up for the both of us. You can catch a rabbit by hidiing
under a bush and making the sound of something crunching on a carrot.
That's easy if you have a carrot. You can bat them in the direction of
the cat easier than grabbing them. Not that that particular cat had
the slightest difficulty catching them. Sport hunting, she had an open
bag of cat food on the kitchen floor. We now have five cats, two dogs,
and one food dish, which we keep full at all times. Keeps it simple.

I don't shoot critters, just "unlive" targets and, of course, anyone who
breaks into the house. :)
