Night Shooting a Mod 95

Gut2Fish, I don't think so.

After I read your post, I took the rifle to the bench, sighted the target.  The pan width is really close to 3 marks, and the pan is 12 inches diameter.   So I think a 12 inch drop is really close, give or take an inch or 2.

What was special about my neighbors shots were that they were consecutive, right after he switched to both eyes open.  Oh, he's missed several since, and our last shoot I did better than he overall.  But to see (with binoculars) him do it was special.  I'd be pretty depressed if he kept up that accuracy.

Most of what he eats is something he's grown, caught or shot (arrow/bullet).  If he had a javelin I'm sure I would have seen a pic of a squirrel pinned against a tree somewhere..

If he aways shot with both eyes open he would be a lot fatter since he would have hit more that he shot at.   What took him so long?

Go to a trajectory table, I bet it drops more than a foot, a lot more.

Yogi, I'll do that.  After my last post I started thinking that my reasoning was pretty sketchy...
I'll also place a cardboard backer up and measure the drop from dead center.

The cardboard "side target" attached to the 100 yard target had a dot placed near the top.  Aiming at that showed that of five shots, two landed at 15 inches below, three landed at 12 inches below.  Pretty lousy consistency for starters, but I'll reset something and place more shots. 

I also aimed just above the 12 inch pan and struck it on its bottom lip.  Not having checked any trajectory charts yet I'll still say that the drop at 100 yards is closer to 14 than 20.

I don't know what that means, lol, but I'm still learning!
