Not too shabby for an old man that is out of practice. You did good.
-
Thanks Don. Are you going to join this old man? ;D Craig

Craig,
As I understand it, we can shoot as many targets as we like but only post one. Can we shoot as many as we DON’T like and add them up and just post a score without a pic? May it never be. Will try again and then post something. So far 189 is the best and I have all kinds of excuses. Gonna see what happens in the next couple of days.Don

If got a lot of those I don't like
Several at 185 but that just seems where I'm stuck
Still working on the gun. I did shoot a nice sighting group last night 8 shots in under a half inch out side diameter but then it got to dark to shoot the target
Running out of days and daylight

More than a few times now I've set my target out there with an LED flashlight shining on it. The light can be focused, so I just adjust to illuminate the whole sheet. You do what you got to do :)

Should be-- pops76- not 74. DUH.
-
Don, you are 83yrs old. not 76, right. :o No fudging on age. ::) An other old fate. 8) Craig
-
Nice shootin' gentlemen. I didn't post anything. I'm working through my Marauder dropping about every fifth pellet down into the 7-8 range so until I get that resolved I'm just shooting. Doing a lot of back and forth of different ranges making sure that the problem doesn't seem to be a scope problem. Waiting on a chronograph to correlate that it is a drop if muzzle velocity and not something else.
-
You are right Craig. 83 is correct. The 76 is the age I was when I joined in on all this fun, but for some reason I listed it as pops74. Should have been pops76. Another of that part-timers syndrome.
-
Nice shooting Craig, Todd and Don! I couldn’t make it this match, my target gun was in parts on my workbench ::)
Here are the updated results.
Don, I took the liberty to count what looked like 4 X’s which btw is solid at 30yds! Let me know if you think it’s wrong.
