    the .22lr wont suffice, not while piercing the water, at a low angle. from 50m. Also, without a scope, it's hard to see what way they are facing at that range, and you can't tell what angle their body is held at under the water, plus there's refraction of the image, even if you COULD see. Their body is 5" or so down from their heads, maybe much more if ifs' a big turtle.
    Well then, the ones we used along with .22 pellet guns must have been magical then because we killed a lot of turtles.

    Ha! I thought that was 50 miles!
    Math be hard...........around here the gas meters are about 80 feet apart. So 50 meters would equal 2000 feet so that would be approximately 666 yards. If the yards are 70 feet then we are talking about 46,620 feet which would be 15,540 yards not 50 miles. Trust me, I'm a cowquelus professor at A&M.

    My best student get a job with the DPS patrolling the Ft Worth/Dallas rode. One day a truck loaded with hogs turned over and he and his fellow trupers spent all day rounding them up. After the truck had left with the hogs another one was caught and they told my farmer student to take it to the Ft Worth zoo. It was unlike him, but he didn't come to work the next day...no call... nothing. He returned the next day like nothing unusual happened. His boss asked where he wuz the day befour and he said he took the hog to the zoo like they tolt him and they enjoyed it so much they went to Six Flags the next day. Soooooo, not only does he know alot about cowquelus, but he knows hogquelus as well.
