Prairie Dogs in South Dakota, Jeff Quinn & Cuz Melvin

I don't know who reads Jeff Quinn's site Gun Blast. I have for years. I like Jeff, very practical shootist, not overly ego'd, just good people. And he likes things that go BANG..

This article is about a shooting bench he was invited to try out while prairie dog hunting in South Dakota.

As soon as I saw the bench, I thought of our own BuffaloBob..

You can read all about it here..

I first met Wally Brownlee of Target Shooting, Inc at the 2001 SHOT Show. There he was displaying his new rifle rest, which was called the Model 500. I was impressed enough to buy one on the spot, and have used it for many years. It still serves me well, even though I now also have the newer Model 1000, along with accessories such as the custom-made sandbags for the Model 1000 and the Target Shooting handgun rest. The 500 is still the best choice for some rifles, depending upon the action type and magazine length. For a couple of years now, Wally has been trying to get me out to South Dakota to try out his Model 2500 Shooting Bench. I have seen this bench displayed at shows for a few years now, but had never fired off of one until last week. I finally made the trip, along with my cousin Melvin Kent. Most folks around here know him best as Dwayne, but I call him Melvin, as that is his first name. Melvin and I are pretty close as cousins go. He is a first cousin on both sides of the family, as his mother is my father’s sister, and his father is my mother’s brother. Anyway, even though he is a full ten years older than I, we do a lot of things together, and one thing which we have discussed for years is going prairie dog shooting together.
My wifes parents are also the brother & sister of her aunt & uncle.. Small World..


Another item I spotted was the range finder they were using..
