...first you make sure her legs are well spread and securely fastened. Then you decide what kind of head you want, hold your bit firmly in your hand and get started on those holes. When you're done, pull out quickly without twisting or you could get stuck. Get as close as you can, blow any remaining debris from the hole, then you put her legs together, sling her over your shoulder and take her out into the field to practice your shooting. Swiss Tony
