Gong on

[deye243]

well i suppose a gong is equipment

well today i scored a 21"x1/2" gong for $10 so i took it

out to me range , i didn't have much time to have a good

crack at it (kids gotta go here gotta go there ) but i

think i did alright considering there was a x wind of

10 to 15K on the 1st 2 shots i thought i missed the 2nd

but i was sure i herd the bing so i got on the radio to

my son (he was hiding behind a big red box tree so

he told me there was 2 touching) no wonder i couldn't

see it .

and then the wind just droped out like it does here on the coast

and i sent 3 down quick smart and i was impressed to say the least.

range 760y

unfortunately no as it was dug in the ground so it couldn't resonate but there was a bloody loud CRAAAAACK when it hit , and yes that ring a ding is the best sound and in will hear it when i mount it properly .

Line of sight for 20 metres, doesn't make for challenging shooting

Where did you say you were from mate?

[deye243]

Well i went out again today and with the help of a mate put up the gong properly so it can ring, and yep next time the mutt stays home .

Any way, this is the CB shot if you look at it full screen you will see the hit centre 3" high.

Cheers D

What the hell is your dog doing at the start, it sounds like he's wrestling a pig behind you

[deye243]

i leave him home most of the time now , you ought to try and shoot out the window with him in the ute haha not happening ...

he used to look over my shoulder from the back seat when i took a shot and he would even stop breathing like me but about 6 years ago (he was 6 then) he just changed and now carries on like a 2 bob watch.....
