I have to assume you're talking about them nasty ol' sidewinders. We got a bunch of them in Arizona too. When I lived there, I had to take a pistol and snake shot to the golf courses, especially during the mating season. That's when those sidewinders really get mean and nasty.
Heh, heh...It amazing how the sound of a .357 going off right behind you can mess up a drive or a putt !!
PS - It is absolutely amazing how fast those things can move with their crazy side-over-side motion. Also, you use only a little .22 ? Man oh man, in Arizona all that would do is make 'em madder !

I carried a .357 with snake loads and even then it would often take more than one shot (hit) to kill an adult sidewinder, unless you were really close (and I don't like snakes.)
