OH SURE CRAIG!
Set the bar high at the very beginning.
Outstanding score... now let's see if you can keep it up.

Kevin great shooting buddy. Concrete is cool also. At my age (79) , if I did what you did, I would not be able to get back up.

Me too Craig. It is easy for me to fall down but have not found a way to fall up. So prone is a thing of the past. Great shooting Kevin.

There is no novice shooters. Some of us have low scores sometimes and that is not a low score. looks good to me. Don

Awesome Kurt!
Nice entry... that is the fun of off season. Getting new match shooters involved.
You will have your ups and downs, we all do... but there is absolutely NO PRESSURE (maybe some ribbing) except in your own desire to improve.
I am just grateful to be able to shoot in the winter!!!

Struckat · « **Reply #16 on:** November 28, 2020, 07:15:14 PM »

Thanks,
I had a scope failure on the 95, white powder in the objective lens, so the 2x7 I used was freshly taken off my HW30 and pressed into service.

Now I have to tell my wife that I need to buy a new scope during the Christmas black out period.

The 30 just received peep sight, but those black targets are hard for me to see the dot from my bench.
I’ll have a go at them offhand, that’s more like area fire.

I suggest this target then... 2 shots per bull.
Cancel out your worst ~~one~~ two.

Opening shot, x, follow up with heartbreak. Ok, I regain my composure, X!
See, I am that good!
Aaaand then choke the next one out just to torment myself further.

The fun part about open sights in bad lighting is I only worry about sight picture. Where with a scope on this 30 or my 95, I worry about this hand, that hand, cheek weld, double cheek weld, finished of with making a certain face on a certain day.

With the peep on the 30 it’s like that whole world of requirements is gone. All I do is concentrate on the sight picture, which is blurry, and let that shot go like I did go when I was a kid.

This is my fourth sheet of the morning. The others contained some shooting that surprised me as I get use to the peep, but as was this sheet, they were ruined by some lapses in concentration.

You like that target better with "peeps"?
