Title: New Submission
Post by: Kid Shelleen on April 24, 2020, 11:15:46 PM
Hope I do it correctly this time: 

Here’s my first submission.  Nothing to write home about but I think it just made the cut to join the club and learn the secret hand shake.  I haven’t shot for a month so I broke down and went out to the range (Pioneer Gun Club) yesterday with my new FX Crown.  I haven’t shot an air rifle at 100 yards before so after resighting the scope, I shot a couple of practice targets, then remembered I wanted to try out for the NUAH Club.  The first target I shot actually started out pretty good.  I had four shots inside the 10 ring and was feeling pretty good but then a gust of wind came up just as I shot the fifth round and it flew into the 7 ring.  I’m looking forward to trying to do a little better in the future.


Shooting date: 4/23/20
Shooter: Kid Shelleen (Mike)
Distance: 100 yards
Rifle: FX Crown .25 cal.
