I got out for some long range shooting with the FX Boss. Was windy as usual (16-20 mph), but it was a day I had time to shoot so that's what I did. I shot about ten targets and picked the smallest sided group, hoping for expert, but will settle for sharp shooter. The expert will come at some point, just gotta get rid of that one that wants to wander a bit
. Was a fun time as usual and it keeps me going out trying some more for that ultimate group. I didn't take pictures of gun and range as it's the same as my last submission. If needed I can attach the pictures from last time?

Marty's call.... but since that "flyer" is touching the 3 MOA ring, I would call that an "Expert" target, by the rules.... JMO....

I upgraded you to Expert. The rule states "inside or touching the 3 MOA Ring". Congrats, nice shooting with that kind of wind.

Thanks fellas, after the Prarie Dog I went on couple weeks ago I'm really "in tune" with my Boss. Dealt with quite a bit of wind out there as well, plus it's usually windy in this area so just learn to deal with it. I will admit it has taken awhile to get used to it with air rifles though. Much steeper learning curve. It's been a blast and I'm hooked, haven't shot my powder burners except for shotguns since I've started this hobby.
