Another newbie
« on: October 04, 2009, 06:35:34 AM »
I've been lurking around here for a while, but finally decided to join. There is a lot to be learned here. I bought  my little .223 handie and went out shooting, I thought I'd bought a dud  >:( . My brother told me about this site, so I did a little checking here. I have did a few things to my handie, and now I'm very impressed with. It's an Ultra Varmint Thumbhole in .223 cal with a Burris 4.5x14 scope on it. The first time I went shooting I could barely hit the paper. I came here and did a little reading. The last time I shot it I could only get in the 50 yard range. I left after I shot with a target that had three holes touching each other, about half an inch high and dead on  :o . I can cover them with a dime and have change left.
