Knocking them out of trees with the .22 was good sport, too; the dawg used to come fetch me when he'd treed one, and he'd catch it on the way down when I nailed it.

Good shot, given my luck with trying to qualify with a 45 automatic as the saying goes I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn standing inside of it.

Now if you had just said you got a raccoon at 35 feet with a .45 we could have asked, did you shot it or throw the gun at it.
