Lessons learned:
1. Light weight, fast bullets like the .223
were knocked off their axis and deflected
more than heavier bullets. In fact, it was
flying sideways after 10 yards.
2. The .308 was not deflected as much as
I would have thought. Not enough to miss
a deer 10 yards behind the brush.
3. The .45-70 plowed through the dowel without
much deflection.
4. The 12 gauge slug shrugged off the dowels
and went right on to the target.
5. I brought a much larger piece of cardboard
than I actually needed. I expected to see
"feet" of deflection, not inches.
6. It sure is hot in Texas today. 
We were leaking water like a couple of rain
clouds. Come on Fall. 
But even when it's hot, it's still fun to
shoot stuff.  |
