Well, it certainly isn't my best, but that's what you get when you put stuff off.... After getting home from work yesterday I waited until a shower rolled through and while it was sprinkling intermitantly I got out, set up the target at 50 yards, sat on my picnic table, dropped the legs on the harris BR bipod, and sighted in the newly mounted 3-9x40mm Bushnell Banner circle-x muzzleloader scope (moved the elite 3200 to my weatherby). After 4 shots to roughly set the scope I taped up a card over the target and went to work, hastily shooting 5 shots into a card. Unsatisfied I shot another card, hastily, knowing it would start raining at any second. The wind was swirling, it was dark, I had a cover over the target so it wouldn't get wet and it was a dark target to see. After the third card it started to rain and I hurried back in the house. On each card I had one shot that felt bad as I pulled the trigger, too rushed, and each time it was a flyer.... Still, under the circumstances, the groups weren't horrible I guess.
But next time I will take out the bags, no wind, alot more light, no precipitation, and most importantly I won't be rushing my shots. My groups should really shrink! Look out DJ! :wink:
It's raining again now, and probably will continue, so I'll mail this card in today as soon as I get the addr from wlscott. I didn't realize how much fun shooting these little 3x5 cards is, I'm going to stop spending money on targets and just shoot the wife's 3x5 note cards left over from college. :wink:
later,
scruffy
