    Tim, based upon your self described handgun abilities have you considered finding one that moves quickly into the path of bullets?

    No Brad. I was thinking of starting with a 4' sawmill blade at 15 paces, then graduating myself to a manhole cover, then a cultivator disk, then a lawnmower rim, then finally this 7" steel plate.
    Ambitious, I know, but you gotta have a dream ya know?
    LOL!
    Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.

    15 paces? You are shooting a rifle, right?

    Surprised to see him looking for targets.

    I didn't know he was shooter.

    Something not mentioned yet is the dueling trees. I prefer those to both hanging and fall down steel with handguns. Although Mrs. Salty does not like them as much as her 9mm sometimes needs a double tap to get it to swing all the way around. But the 45 leaves no doubt when it is hit.
    Pulling the trigger will increase your bullets velocity by 100%.
