I shot the white buffalo!

      I don't know why I didn't post about this when I was posting about New Mexico =)

When I went to Raton, New Mexico I shot the white buffalo (a steel plate in the shape of a real size buffalo) at 1,123 yards! I shot it on my first shot in the prone position, then I shot it again, and hit it. A few people had shot at it offhand, I wanted to try but I didn't know if my gun was going to be too heavy or not. Hannah (in the pic below), helped me to get into position, and she stood behind me just in case I "fell" back. On my very first shot, I hit it on the black 16" plate that is in the middle! Let's just say I didn't try that again, first shot hit...was it luck?

Hannah and Kelly were the others to hit it on their first shot offhand
