I setup one of those 5 gallon water jugs, full of bird seed, nuts, etc; in a good place for squirrels that is well away from the houses, and most traffic I hope. I fashioned it in such a way that it should auto fill the bowl beneath it.(unless it rains.) But, we don't really have rain in the distant forecast so I'm not really worried about that. Hopefully after a month or so, more will have moved in. Since replying in this thread, I have stopped hunting the ground squirrels in hopes of keeping their numbers up for a day we can do a little hunt. Also, going to look for a blind on craigslist or somewhere I can setup somewhere close to there, closer to when the time comes.Glad to see there are so many shooters nearby. I picked up another gun and scope (ruger with the leapers) on craigslist for $40 the other day, so I'm slowly adding to the stable.

Austin,I might be able to do you (us) one better. Have you ever been to the Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga ? I think it should be no more than 20 miles from you. If you can check and see if they have any Chrony's,... I have a $100 gift certificate for there. I've not made it out there to check the place out yet,... but if they DO Have Chrony's, I'd be fine with sending you the gift certificate to pick one up for me (us) . You hang onto it until someday I come to plink those ground squirrels with you. That way, you could figure out how to work the darn thing,.. and when we get a chance to get together sometime, you could teach me how to use it. How could you beat that deal ?
I will be shooting Field Target with CASA on Saturday in Chino Hills if anyone in interested. I will be shooting either a 1720T, an RX2 or an HW97, all depends on my mood. Do a search here on the forum for CASA FT and it ill pull up directions and start time.
Anyone on here have a chrony that wouldn't mind having me come over and find out what a couple of my guns are averaging?
Im in Hemet/San Jacinto I usually go shooting in bee canyon, its At the base of the mountain before heading up to idyllwild.
