Thanks Bryndon,

As a lad I lived for a few years in Missouri and accompanied my grandfather when he was shooting groundhogs on the farm. I was small but remember that some must have been around ten-pounds.

I just thought it would be fun to use the rifle on a target as it was used a hundred years ago. I found a couple of woodchuck targets and will have a go at them.

Remember that's how the "Hamburg" rifle got it's name from making hamburger out of woodchucks.

Back in the day the jacketed bullet had been barred from the Schuetzen range and bench-rest shooting as we know it today was a long way off. The were used in the "Chuck" fields.
