Mrs.Thumbcocker and I are going to Africa later this year. I am going to take this hunter model. 44. It has been worked on a bit and I have shot it a lot. A whole lot. I also dry fire it every day.
I came into a quantity of golf balls. I don't golf. As I have been shooting more or less weekly I have tried to find new targets to keep things interesting. Hmmmm. Deciced to try to hit a golf ball at 50 yards. I do like a challenge. Got to where I could move a golf ball around pretty often and hit it once in a while at 50 yards.
Shot at clay birds on the 100 yard berm. Mrs.Thumbcocker is my spotter. One day I was shooting and said I was going to try for a golf ball. She asked "at 50 or 100?" I do love her confidence in me. But that stuck with me and burrowed deep into my brain. Golf ball at 100. No way. Can't be done. But....... maybe I should try.
Started trying at 100. Seated backrested per Elmer. Still dry firing every day.
Well today the stars aligned. Dark berm, cloudy sky, no shakes. Clear my brain. Golf ball moved. Went to check. Lead smear on the golf ball. Fat guy happy dance. Tried on a second golf ball. May have hit it because it flew about 12 feet into the air and was lost in the brush on top of the berm. From shooting golf balls recently that is consistent with a ball hit at the base but no way to verify.
Anyway. Elmer said if you practice enough you get more lucky hits. I guess he was right.
