Really a poor excuse, but 15 mph gusts started right after I started shooting the target. The target was swaying fore and aft about 14". I was putting the reticle on the dot and waiting for the dot to swing to it.
I can't claim wind as an excuse today... just being a dumb $%#. You all are going to get a good laugh at this.
I was on my way to a clean target today and somehow I managed to fire two shots on the bottom right coin. So, I'm calling that coin a MISS and coming up a penny short.
SCORE = $11.63
Ruger 10/22
BSA 8-32x44

That’s out of my 6.5 rpr. I’ll post pics of 100 yard groups of rimfire rpr tomorrow. Probably should of explained that in first post but it was whiskey night. I have few different ammos to try out but from what I hear cci is the way to go.Details on the setup? Optic, rest, etc. that’s quite a grouping. I’ve read good things about the RPR but that’s impressive for 100yd.
Hold up. Today ain't over!!Congrats @mike59 !!!! So what is the target for May?
Congrats @mike59 !!!! So what is the target for May?
Hold up. Today ain't over!!
(But it won't be me doing any shooting...just starting 2nd job for the day. Missed this month's target, but hope to do May & June in one trip).
I will have to post new one Tuesday. I could not get link to work tonight. I am going to bed now because I am going to range in morning. @mike59 you owe me!
Sorry @ECNC - didn't mean to jam you up like that and looking back I probably should have said something when you turned in your targets that windy day and officially moved you into the winners spot. I also have not tracked down a target yet and after sending my message last night I got some dinner and then passed out on the couch but I'm up and rolling now so I'll dig in and will post a target before I say good morning to the boss - priorities
For those keeping track for the awards banquet at the end of the year (haha) - even though I'm going after the next target - I officially pronounce @ECNC the winner of the April 2018 challenge - it was truly fine shooting - 2 perfect targets while dealing with the wind and in my mind that makes for the tie breaker over my 1 inside target (and 3 less than perfect).
Congrats @ECNC !
@mike59 It was not a big deal. I was just tired last night and hurting. I fell this past Sunday kind of hard and I do not think anything went right yesterday. Thanks for posting for May!!!
It was Dewars 12 year! and tonight will be more plus the hot tub!Ouch - hate to hear you fell and are hurting! I’ve often found Wild Turkey Rare Breed to help in situations like this Hope u feel better soon!
