Pretty decent groups for 25 yds? Pretty happy with myself, considering this was only my second time going shooting. I remember growing up as a kid loving nerf guns and dreaming about shooting a real gun. This hobby is as fun as i thought it would be. Thank God for the 2A!

for your 2nd time shooting, yeah you did great
compared to 90% of the country, you still did pretty good.
tighten it up a little, then move it back to 50 yards or shoot faster until it falls apart again, then work to tighten it up again. repeat.

to some, that group is terrible because they put shots in 1/4 that size at 400 yards. for others all they can do is hope to get their shots that tight.
 
Not bad. I’ve seen worse from people who have been shooting a lot longer than you. And that’s a serious comment lol.

Radical RF15

Hey everyone, just felt like sharing my build with you guys, im really happy with it so far. It is a budget build, I'm not able to work full time being that i'm in college. The rifle itself is a Radical RF15, i have almost 500 rounds on it and no hiccups, I love it! Current: Sig Romeo MSR...

Good work!

As a new shooter your #1 priority should be safety followed by a sound understanding of the manual of arms & proficiency of the fundamentals. It seems like you have a good start on all of those.

Now here's the hard truth -

You will want to focus on mastering the fundamentals of marksmanship though. It's the critical building block to well.... everything. It's hard to have a good / confident zero on a rifle without that... Without a good zero, you're just guessing at extended ranges.

For your next range session, try shrinking those group sizes down... Go for 3x rds within about the size of a Quarter ($0.25) from a rested position at 25 yards. That is "the official unofficial" Army standard for a good Group before sights will be adjusted to zero the rifle. Once you can do that consistently... extend the range out... Depending on the rifle / ammo combo you should be able to hold under a 4" group (max) at 100 yrds.

Keep training and be safe! Good work.

Thank you!
 
As long as your keeping things safe and having a good time that's all that really matters. Those aren't bad groups at all for a new shooter.

While keeping it safe try to find new ways to challenge yourself. As you get better your standards will climb. Some days will be frustrating. Other days will be gratifying. They should all be good lessions.
 
One of the best things I ever did to improve my basic marksmanship skills was attend an Appleseed.

schedule | Project Appleseed

You'll learn a lot about sights, trigger control, breathing, and even some history. They're a lot of fun too.
