Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years, I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, become an integral part of our ecosystem, and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I’ve seen the beauty that everyone should see and survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish, or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

That's nothing, I heard of a guy who could shoot a pop can at 710 yards with the irons on a 10/22…
Being 74 years old and having taken thousands of ground squirrels in my lifetime- on the farm I spent my youth on I used to trap them with copper wire and feed them to our chickens while getting 10 cents per tail.After saving up I bought a 22 pump gallery gun used. About 12 years later I bought my first house in Pacoima California for 13,300 dollars and use to go to the Kern River above Lake Isabella and camp out. I limited myself to 10 squirrels a day shooting the new Stingers by CCI, I had than started shooting the Marlin 39A with a 2-7 Leopoldo scope and restricted my shots to 100 yard minimum with head shots only. Along with trout fishing and quail and a the corn I would pick on the way up everything except liquor was taken care of , of course smoking weed which I started at 15 years old and being raised in the San Fernando Valley and Vietnam going on since 1964 , I was drafted in 1968 April 15th but was in a motorcycle accident on the 13th with a fractured pelvic bone and a fractured skull. I became a Respiratory Therapist in 1972 -1986 following the outbreak of AIDS I found work with LADWP were I was able to work in the Owen’s Valley at Control Gorge Power Plant for 17 years and retired in 2016 .
Ron I've recently purchased two pistols in 22 lr. A Heritage rough rider then a Ruger SR 22 . Next I'm getting a 10/ 22 and last I ve always wanted a Henry lever gun. All in 22 lr + WMR cylinder for Heritage. It just makes sense for me to make my primary arms those with available and affordable ammo.
I love Mr.Lahey
Any shooting is easier by that logic,.
Looks like a Kimber. I like my Anschutz 1710 D KL and Cooper 57M JSR.

I can ring steel at 200 yds all day on a bench with my Rock Island TM22 20"barrel AR/22 with a red dot with hold over
I'm gonna try this…. nobody talks about it, but the logistics of getting set up to take 1000+ yard shots are a huge PIA (especially if you have to carry both ways/can't drive up to target…) I bought a huge garden cart to drag across the desert, but I think I'm taking the ATV and towing the cart this winter
If you want to learn this look for an Appleseed 200 yard Rimfire KD. 50 yards off hand, 100 transition to seated, 150 transition to prone, 200 slow fire prone. Target detection, range estimation, wind correction and learning your drop is taught. There is one coming up in Beaver Falls, PA. It all transfers to your center fire shooting. A 25 meter Appleseed is normally required first.
Anyone can hit something 1000 yards away with a 22 .
Put put sniper , long range rabbit hunting my longest shot was 187 yard
I agree but I would go with a 17 hmr because it’s still cheap at around 17 cents a round but the biggest difference is the velocity sence it can compite with much larger rounds so I would say it gives you a much better way of training than a 22lr
Ron knows what he is talking about with a .22. That looks like a Kimber action,
Ive done a little long range shooting with my ole 452 out to 240 yards. I use up all my elevation and use mil dots. That’s using subsonic ammo of course.
It’s an older Murr
I'm working on 400 yds. 300 is easy
22 ammo isn't cheap anymore. I'm paying $50-70 a box of 500, unless I get it on sale. Here in Canada anyway.
I saw a 500, it helps to have natural slowmo vision that let's you see the travel. Trained myself with bb, paintball, shotgun with clay pidgin, and 7.62-39
I don’t know what the MOA wind constant for .22 LR is at 200 yards, but I suspect that error is common even if shooter is an NRA Long-Range High Master.
Done 330 yds with good ole iron sights
You’d do a whole lot better if you ditched the junk Winchester ammo.
Sir ron spomer we really love you,your style of describing❤️❤️❤️from eastern balochistan
You are right sir i myself shot white painted bottle with a brno cz boltaction open iron sights company adjusted rare elevator notch when i was young it smashed the bottle at 200 yards the bullet
strikes after a second pulling the trigger.
Would you recommend a rimfire or center-fire scope in this matter?
