That much is true, some do indeed.
The shooter ought to have the entire book thrown at him. He is too stupid to be alloed possesion of a sharp stick.
I did look up the ballistics. Drop is 24-27 inches. Last I checked, 4 feet is about 48 inches...
Fired from a typical pistol, a 44 Magnum bullet drops around four feet at 200 yards. Assuming a typical pistol has a 7.5 - 8 inch barrel, and firing factory loads, I’m right.
44 Magnum carbine ballistics don’t really apply to pistol hunting.
Regardless, I’m done with the discussion. It’s still my opinion that the story will be proven bs; that some people here want to quibble and parse, and that no one can define someone else’s argument for them. It’s a pointless endeavor.
Oh. I thought it was a reference to the video game. Still works.
Like a lot of things in Newsweek, nothing about this story makes sense.
Could turn out to be simply murder perhaps following rejectiion of sexual advances.
Because you are not stupid.
Either he is lying about why he shot her or he is a criminally negligent dumbass that violated the basic rules of hunting. Either way he should be prosecuted.
Second article/thread
Iron sites on a revolver or single shot pistol barrel not longer than 10".
Any legal standing or freestyle shooting position per NRA or IHMSA rules.
Not from a bench rest or sandbags.
You get 2 sighting shots at 50 Meters on a full size chicken
One shot at the 200 meter chicken.
So do you feel lucky, well do ya'
;)
Sounds really fun. Lemme try it once, then we can double or nothing on the next round.
Idiot can’t distinguish between a human and a deer? Really?
I did look it up. I am not an idiot. I know the difference between pistol and a carbine.
And you are dead wrong.
Find a range that will let you shoot pistols out to 200 meters or yards. Take your favorite .44 magnum revolver out there. I prefer the Dan Wesson stainless 8” vent heavy barrel with target sites. Put up some paper targets of half size chickens and take notes on what your site setting is in clicks from bottom to be zeroed in at 200 Meters. Note the Windage left or right from center.
Come back over the next few weeks and keep track of how many first shot of the day hits you record on that little chicken at 200 meters and how many hits in a row and total hits divided by total shots fired.
Remember, no sandbags or bench rests.
Take someone to spot for you as with practice they will be able to watch the bullet’s flight to the target and give you adjustment corrections.
Did she look anything like a deer?
Maybe a whitetail?

Yes.

He’s legal problems are just beginning.
[Hunting deer with a pistol. Kinda unusual or no?]
Not unusual at all. Been doing so for about 25 years.
