Some days it just all falls into place and this morning was one of those days. A 4-shot group @ 300 yards yielded a .711 group and a 4-shot group at 600 yards was 1.576.
I was using my Siebert Leupold 20x LER scope for these two groups and the groups I shot last Friday @ 100 yards.
I will use my 3-12 Burris LER w/BP & Target Knobs for ITRC.
From now till ITRC all shooting will be done from the prone position.
This mornings shooting was from the bench.
Isn't it amazing what you can do with a specialty handgun!

Ernie, I have to squint to do that at 100yd. Fine shooting man!!! Isn't it funny how some days it just works....then there are days you can't hit the barn from inside. Keep that going and you'll be hard to handle at any shoot. GOOD SHOOTIN', Walt

I appreciate the good encouragement. One thing about this tactical shoot is you don't get to sight in for the conditions (sighter shots like you do when group shooting or even benchrest) when competing. We get to sight in on Thursday afternoon, and then I don't think we have a re-zero bench time. Plus all targets are at unknown distances out to 1000 yards. This is going to be fun, but I also believe there will be plenty of humility to go around, since you lose points for every miss.
