I had to walk back in and hit the pickup with the range finder and it was 62 yards. No bad for an old guy I say

Im putting new batteries in my range finder now. Savell will buy the winner drinks

I will guess 85 yards

Good but now it is time to work out farther Elmer Keith was known for 250 yard ground hog hits with his wheel gun you have to really know your hold over for that
