Nice shooting Blue. Glad to see you back.
I have 3 submissions this time around. I met up with Steve (Nitrocrusher) and had a great day shooting at his place(thanks again for the invite).

I'm traveling and won't be home in time to scan the targets the way I usually do so the .25 & .177 targets are both together on 1 picture.
I also added in a picture of the warm up target for the .177 shot on a 50 yard target at 100 yds. That one is better than my submission :( 8)
This was the first time I stretched out the TM to 100 yards.
When I get back home(which will be after the match ends) I'll scan the targets and repost them.
Update 9/19.... I'm home now and I attached the 3 grouped targets individually.

Great shooting with you today Marty!! You have quite a nice selection of rifles 8) You're a heckuva shot and did a nice job compensating and timing shots in the swirling breeze we were dealing with today. I need to shoot with you more often so I can learn a few things about shooting in the wind ;D

Thanks guys, it was a great morning and it felt so good to be able to stretch things out again.
I changed jobs in April. Great opportunity, better team, more responsibility, more pay, no weekends, but between getting my feet under me and my being able to enjoy having weekends off I had trouble finding time for the range. I'm not gonna lie, I was afraid I'd get up there and be so out of practice that I would be too frustrated to have a good time. Or that I'd get all the way up there and set up only to have some kind of malfunction like the time I got 2 or 3 shots off before my poppet broke.
The range I go to is free and in a National Forrest so it can get pretty busy. I've been there when there were so many people shooting it almost scared me how much lead was flying! Today I sucked it up and made a few trips lugging gear waaaaaaay down to the farthest spot from the parking area so I'd have an end to myself even as people started showing up. It payed off huge! By the time I left there were a half a dozen people all crowded close to their cars but for the 3+ hours I was there, I might as well have been alone. Despite the constant pop, pop, pop, and the occasional BOOM going on behind me I was set up shooting out the end, perpendicular to everyone else's line of fire and never had to worry about walking out to change targets any time I liked.
AND for once there really wasn't any wind! I even brought an anenometer so I could start putting real numbers to what I feel and there wasn't enough to even register. Okay, once I picked up a "gust" of 1.7 mph.
Steve, I know what you're saying about wind. Sometimes I can fool myself into thinking it's "fun" (never when shooting for groups) and sometimes I think it's just plain cruel the way it only stops when I'm changing targets!
I finished my morning by shooting clay pigeons I had collected on my walks out to change targets. I hung them from branches on a down tree right next to my target board. After aiming at a 1" circle all morning, picking those suckers off seemed easy but oh so satisfying to see each one break with each shot!
Thanks again, this is just so much fun!

Blue, nice target .....
I know what you mean about the range, I go 30 minutes to the State Game Lands range. Quite a nice facility, updated, lots of permanent benches, all under roof. I bought a pair of those noise cancelling, ear protection shooting headphones that allow you to adjust them so you can hear voices .... but cancel out the powder burner blast. Before I got those, being under cover with those cannons was killing me, not to mention the first shot scaring the bejesus out of me. It never fails too, it's calm winds at home, I go up, park in the lot, tote all my shooting gear about 50 yards to the range, set up .... and the wind starts howling. Pack everything up, and go back home. I hate going to all that trouble, but I have no choice if I want 100 yards.
