I do quite a bit of hog hunting, and at one spot where I normally have at least 100 yd shots, the coons have been driving my crazy. I have a large round trap there as well, and the coons frequently trip the door on it. I occasionally trap coons, but lately I've decided to just shoot some and lower the population. I took my 77/22 to the range to sight it in today for 100 yd. shooting with a suppressor and sub sonic CCI ammo. I think it will do the trick, but it is stretching things out for the caliber and speed of the bullets.

After getting some sort of group at 100, I decided to try it at 50 and shot 25 rounds at this target. I was sort of impressed..but it does shoot 3 inches high at 50, so I held at 6 o'clock.

I guess my old range is getting about ready for some rehab....starting to look pretty run down! This is the 100 yd. line..
