Shot my first postal target at 200 yds. today. The goal was to keep all 5 shots in or touching the 9 ring. Had my eye on my wind flag at 25 yds. The first 4 shots were decent but the wind was picking up from 10-11:00 [northwest]. The flag was acting stupid so I waited until it decided to behave. The instant I broke the shot a slight gust hit my face. Guess which one was my last shot? Oh well, it is what it is. Score 44 X
I never shoot the Gibbs at 100 yards. 200yds. and farther. Not worth regulating for a fun match. XSounds like you need a taller front sight.
To regulate.
I've had to make sights for different rifles in the past. Or adapt ones.
I like making so I can regulate the height and width.
We'll run it until interest fails.Hmmm. Guess I don't spend enough time in the "Inline" section. Didn't see this. I'll see if the Encore and I can't get a target or two in by the end of the month.
Shot yestersay between showers. Cold front coming through. Half value wind from my 10-11 o'clock [northwest]. Watch wind flag. First 2 shots are 10's. Piece of cake. Next shot is a solid 7. What the heck! The famous "mystery wind". OK. Half minute left. Watch flag. Break shot. Almost touching the 7. NUTS! Another half minute left. Watch flag. Break shot. JEEZE LOUISE! Nice 3 shot group right where it isn't supposed to be. When I got home and put the scoring overlay on the target I saw that 2 shots BARELY touched the 8 ring. Clean living pays off sometimes! Today, mothers day, dead calm, bright blue skies, range closed. Just as well. If I went shooting you guys would be reading my obituary tomorrow. XWe'll run it until interest fails.
In June, things might change up. Maybe with the complete elimination of any rear rest. Shooting only from the shoulder with a front rest or bipod.
Thats some Bada$$ shooting Mnt monkey ! Congrats On your ProgressI adjusted my ergonomics a little bit from the other day's group I got a little bit more on top of the gun and had a little bit more downward angle with the recoil signature it really helped
Awesome shooting!Yes sir, we sure do..........
After cleaning all the copper out, I switched back to shooting BH209. There's Camp Atterbury and Friendship next month.
