Was doing some practice shooting today for this current match. I’m very happy with the results on this sheet. Hope I can do that well on my official entry. I’m having a blast with this LG400 and the great sights that it has.

I had a wonderful day shooting with my Dad. It took a target worth of shooting to dial it in. Tried a few new pellets, but went back to the RWS R10 Match 7 grain. They seem to be flying straight for me. I am loving the new lens in my eye. It is much clearer and brighter. Thanks to all for participating and thank you very much Charlie for hosting the matches.

Thanks to Eric for keeping track of all off this for us. I thoroughly enjoy the competition. Many thanks to Charlie for introducing us to this sport. : )

I also want to try out the Walther off the bench with a scope. I mounted a Hawke Frontier scope and got out the bench and some sand bags.
