I haven't shot a long gun in more than two years since I got hurt and today I decided to take my old friend, my Remington Model 33 single shot out since I just bought it back recently from the guy I sold it to. I was not happy that he apparently never cleaned it, and I have no idea what he did since when I sold it to him he shot it right there on the spot and it was dead on, the darn thing was shooting a good two feet high. I was able to put it on a shooting bag and with the simple bolt rest it and feed rounds one at a time. It took a little bit to get used to lining it up with only the one arm and holding it, but once I got it there I was drilling holes like it was old times. I used up some ten year old Remington hollowpoints that I had lying around. (I was tempted to use some of my precious and now really pricey CCI Green Tag but I think I will wait on that). I can say that once small game season rolls around (June 1st for snapping turtles and frogs where I plan on sitting on a bank overlooking a spot and plinking both) I have my set of shooting sticks ready to roll for my Remington. It's nice to be back.
