Title: Another Expert Attempt - So Close!
Post by: jhm757 on June 15, 2016, 09:41:05 PM
Had a nice calm and hot afternoon today in Central New York!

So I decided to try shooting for Expert again.

I managed to group 4 shots under an inch 5 times, couldn't get that 5th one in there!!!

One of those times the 4 shots were right at .5" 5th shot opened group up to 1.14". Thought I had it had that time, but No!!!!

Actually came real close to achieving Master ranking a few times!!!

You are sooooooooooo close.... get that 5th shot inside the 2 MOA, and all 5 under 1 MOA, and you will indeed be our first Master....

Nice shooting. This challenge looks fun for sure. My long range shooting field has corn waist high in it. I gotta find another place to shoot  long range until harvest.

It's always that  one shot that does it how you don't want it.
Don't worry,  just keep at keeping at it and you'll get there.

Great shooting and nice side by side!  Maybe before you take that last shot take a breather and calm your nerves.
