Re: The 16 year old singer review.....



Yeah, but still, it's a matter of respect for a nicely made tool. Dogs should be about 50 feet away from the front of the gun.

Depends on the dog. I know some dogs that have better manners (and better sense!), that some of the folks who hang around here. I've even known a couple of dogs that I'd seriously consider taking a bullet for. In any event, I say give 'em a sporting chance, make it about 1000 meters in front of the gun. If one can't hit a dog-sized target at 1000 meters, one shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. Unless, of course, it's a pistol, then a couple hundred meters is a fair distance.

I really gotta ask. How many people do you know who could hit a target the size of a dog at 1000 meters? Or with a pistol at "a couple of hundred meters"? I have to say that nothing in my fairly respectable arsenal is capable of either shot even if I thought I could do it. I have a Dan Wesson Super Mag that can make the shot at 100 meters, but certainly not 200,
