But, the wind was calm the day before yesterday and my truck was sitting in a spot that I had lasered 100 yards and set up my target, and it was time to give it a try. No rest, just laid over the bed of my truck and I used a ballistic program to figure 4.5mils drop at 100, for my Brocock Bantam Sniper .22 shooting 18.1 JSB domed pellets. No kibbitzing, these are the 5 shots I fired with a rough holdover on the Hawke Airmax 3-12X40 @ 12X.
I know with a proper rest I can do better, but for me, I was pretty happy with the first try. The group is 2-1/4" outside to outside.

It's ok to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
While practicing through my scope, I thought about the "cheek weld". My shooting improved drastically when I discovered it was talking about my face.

Now all I need to do is print off some targets and do it officially.
