I don’t think I even own a 22, Phil. Dropped my first buck, a 12 point, with a clean shot through the neck with my 357 Magnum.Come to think of it I do own an old 22 pistol I used to shoot rats in the barn many moons ago.

I had vowed to get my permit (license) this year and need to get moving on that. Good luck at the shoot.

Wow, I'm impressed. Young people tend to do much better with long guns when they first start shooting.
Oh, but you didn't say that you were a young person when you shot that buck, did you. Sorry, my assumption.

We used to shoot dump rats, squirrels, 'possum, snakes, skunks and the occasional stray dog.
I still stay in practice for just that. I don't care much for varmints.

Good luck at the shoot.
Don't need any. It's a friendly shoot, not a competitive one. I've shot more pistols that belong to other people than I have my own.
I'm a cheapskate on ammo. I can't afford to shoot off to much hand ammo so the other folks are nice enough to let me shoot their handguns.

For deer? It's a little late for that as the deer season is closed.
