New membership submission. 100 yrds. Hatsan AT-44 Long QE

[ryanwww]

I've been meaning to enter for a while.  Over the winter I cleared a path through the woods so I can shoot 100 yards.  This is my first attempt shooting paper at this distance.  I've been shooting metal spinners and groundhog type targets for a bit.   Yesterday I upgraded my optics to a SWFA FFP 3-15X from a Hawke Vantage 3-12X.  I just wasn't happy with the clarity at distance.  I have a SWFA 2FP 3-15 on a powder burner and I love it so I knew this scope would be perfect for what I wanted, but that's another topic.  For my gun near zero at 15yrds the hold at 100 is exactly 4 mils down so I didn't dial, just held.  It was a bit blustery today and it took me a bit to figure out the wind.  The wind was mostly 5mph from the East and I'm shooting directly North so fortunately it was 90 degrees to me.  Unfortunately it was gusting up to 12-15 mph at times so I worked hard to judge the wind and time my shots.  I'm attaching my 3rd target.  The first two each had one flyer in the 8 ring.

Thank you for your consideration.

Nice shooting Ryan.

Great job!

I'm headed to the range this morning with a fresh stack of NUAH targets.  I'm a little jealous of your setup, I'd much rather step out my door than drive over an hour for the fun to begin!
