Some of us don't treat it the same as shooting a 200" whitetail is all.
Notice I said "We" as in ALL the posters in the thread who enjoy whacking them each year. We both know the big numbers haven't shown themselves yet. I like late April early May depending on what the weather's doing.

Well now that I moved from Edmonton to Medicine hat and bought a house you should come down for a week..........

It’s a running total man, not individual totals. Take the last post, add what you shot and that’s the new total. Just good fun, nothing too serious.

Take the number of rounds fired, IF your a half decent shot, your hit rate is about 65% (DRT) with wind, misjudging range, screw ups, finishing the walking wounded and being half way honest with your abilities as a sniper. Then you have a "rough" estimate of what you did for the day.
