When I received the Magnetic Gun Caddy in the mail for review I was intrigued and yet mad. I had tried many different ways to do exactly what the magnetic Gun Caddy does for years. I never once tried a magnet. The Magnetic Gun Caddy is a simple and effective tool that will give years of protection to your firearms and fishing poles.

Today was a pretty good day. It was a bit cloudy and threatened rain most of the day, but the temperature was not to bad so I decided to go for a drive in the Owyhee Mountains. I drove up to the Black Mountain Wild Horse Management. Area. I did see a couple of wild horses, but there were some ATV’s running the trails that kept the horses moving so I could nt get pictures of them. I also came across a group of ranchers that were moving a herd of cattle into the area fro grazing. Several riders on horse back herding the cattle along.  If not for the two trucks they used to haul the horses out of the area it would have looked like an old west cattle drive.

I also took this opportunity to fire a few rounds of ammo through my 14 inch Contender 22 Long Rifle barrel, my 10 inch Contender 22 Hornet barrel and my Ruger Black hawk 357 Magnum. I did not do a proper target shooting tes, nor did I even have any real targets. I found some rusty cans and broken cable spools lying around the area I test fired them to use for targets. I intend to do a proper review with good targets from a good solid rest to check accuracy and I also intend to chronograph the  guns at that time as well. i did check my range using my Bushnell Sport 450 Laser Range Finder that I reviewed previously. The range was 25 yards and from a standing position with no rest I was able to hit the rusty cans with no problems. Even with the scoped 14 inch 22 LR barrel which is quite hard to hold steady without a rest. There was still plenty of snow high in the mountains. the roads were also still soft so I was not able to get as high as i would have liked. Last time I hunted deer in the Owyhee’s I saw a lt of sign, rabbits and even some turkey sign. I was hoping to get back to that area but I could not.
