bbtosjs5rv l f i r v the acton free press wednesday february 8 1967 fmffpfc jbjr art hawes the most popular rifle for decades has been the 21 rim- fire there are literally mil- hole to die a slow painful death any animal deserves a better end than that the 22 is only efficient for cut swath in both leagues botfi acton redmen high school boys basketball teams iiar t k i luc s j cmticin iui sviiuun uuys uqiuiui trains kujs ttiis within- theangeareleague leaders the juniors this country the 22 is usually tl k- i s r n j the first gun a boy uses and he will likely continue to use it throughout his life there is likely no game ani mal in this province or iiv deed in canada that has not fallen to this calibre most hunters can recall stories of deer moose and bear being downed with the 22 many old timers have shot deer locally with the 22 and likely modern daypdachers still use them for this purpose at close range andin the hands of an expert who would also need to be very lucky there is no animal in canada which could not be killed by the 22 however these stories usually improve with age the animal gets bigger and the range gets longer at every tell ing of the tale the trouble with all these stories is that a boy just start ing to hunt tends to think of the 22 as a powerful long range firearm the 22 is an ideal gun for target practice and small game at close range ft i economi cal to- shoot and an indoor range in the basement can pro vide hours of good sport the question of what game can be adequately despatched with a 22 has long been dis puted the answer depends largely on the ability of the shooter and his particular wea- pon some older cheaper guns are certainly far from accurate and many hunters who do own high quality rifles do not take the time to sight them in pro perly rabbits and squirrels being relatively easy to kill are ideal targets the groundhog how ever s a horse of a different color the groundhog is noted for his ability to absorb a lot of lead and still make it to his the shooter can be sure of tnaking a head shot this lim its most hunters to ranges of less than 50 yards many people feel the v mit rifle with their velocities in excess of 3000 feet per sec ond are too dangerous to be used in the heavily populated areas of this province due to their long range in actuality they are safer than the 22 no doubt the high power varmit rifles if shot in the air will travel much farther than the 22 but the big dif ference is the 22 is notorious for its ricocheting on the otherhatid the high power varmit guns with their high velocity have so much power behind the light bullets they cause the bullets to disinte grate upon impact this fac tor alone makes the calibres such as the 222 much safer than is generally realized
