Title: Can I join?
Post by: marty2 on May 24, 2016, 10:39:35 PM
Was throwin lead with Lloyd today so I have him as a witness. With the 3 5/16" CTC looks like it I make it with member status. This was my first outing with this rifle and shot this after about 25 shots. First sighting in at 50yds then moved up to the 100yd target. I'm definitely going to try to improve my status.

Just want to add that I had a lot of fun shooting with Lloyd today.

Thanks guys. I wish it was my range but it's not. That belongs to Lloyd. What the picture doesn't show is a babbling brook about 8 ft from the bench, has a very calming effect. I should have brought a hammock. ;D
Like to add that Travis and Jim did a good job with the Flex.

Good shooting!
So where in the picture is the 100 yard mark?

I'm guessing that first white square is about 50 yards, and the 100 yard mark is just barely visible down the trail if you zoom way in?

Man that's a long ways off!

 Which location is your 100 yard target?

Which location is your 100 yard target?

The upper arrow is the 100yd target(100.2 yds per rangefinder) and the lower arrow is pointing to the 50 yard target.

I got the weed eater out the day before Marty came to shoot because it had been raining a lot and the grass was tall.  There is an earth berm at 83 yards that kinda shows just underneath the upper arrow that Jim put in the picture.  I was going to stop weed eating there, but figured I might as well take it out to my 100 yard stake.  Glad I did!
I have to say that Marty is a pretty good shot. By the time he had the Flex zeroed in, it looked like the 100 yard group was going to happen, and it sure did!
Marty brought a couple of other smaller cal target rifles and now he's twisting my arm about target shooting.  I have to admit that with a nice rifle, it is pretty rewarding.
It was  a fun day of shooting.
