Default Range report

So-so day at the range. I can tell fall is coming, its getting busy out at the cons. club. Took the bighorn and the gmb renegade. The bighorn good w/275g parker ballistic extreme w/90gr t73f. fair w/275g trad. hunter w/90g t73f. Poor w/250g BE w/100g t73f. Range was 110yds (100 meters) Target to follow. If the scan gets from there to here. The ren showed no consistency at all scattered them hell west and crooked today. scope on the ren did not return to zero after removal for cleaning. I think it is in the scope. Maybe the heat, Hell I dont know. Only 1 gun at a time from now on!

Well, that may not be what you're looking for, but it's certainly dead-deer hunting accuracy at 110 yards. I see you're not the computer klutz you said you were. Good Picture.

That looks like some pretty good shooting to me.. but you need more range time. Don't go to work.. go to the range.. go to the range.. go to the range..

To Semi; Thanks to Patty the pic is not lost in space! To Dave; there is more range time coming, after the wkend. I have noticed an increase in range usage, the local police depts w/fully auto stuff, pistol shooters and everyone else too. I'll figure out the prob w/the ren too.
