Yeah, I do that. I never shoot more than 3 shots before checking things over on the target. I usually take a sharpy and color the holes. I checked it out again today at 50 yards and shot 2 inch 3 shot groups. Thats pretty good to me. If I had more space here I would try some 100-150 yard tests, but I dont so I have to make do with what I have. I also figured out part of what was causing problems the other day. I was shooting at what measured out to be close to 100 yards uphill. Well from what I understand, shooting uphill will cause your bullet to shoot high.
