Default went to a range with the gun first time

I went to the range for the first time in my life. Before I only shot 65-70 yards and was able to do that in my back yard. However I'm going to Iowa and with this new knight LRH I wanted to reach out and hit something.

I laser bore sighted the gun it hit about 5" high, 3 3/4" to the left.

After fixing that I was dead center on shot #2 but 1" low. Shot #3 was 1 1/2" low and 1/4" to the right.

Shot #4 was windy and I screwed up as well as #6. #'s 7-9 where all around the center but no real pattern. Would anyone be happy with this? I WANTED 1" high at 100 yds and was unable to pull it off in 9 shots.

here is the 100 yarder






I moved on to the 200 yard target Other tha someone shooting it 4 times with a 7mm The other 4 are mine scattered on the four corners.




like I said I never was good at target shooting. I never shot at this range or a range before. HOWEVER I never could get it to 1" high at 100 yards exactly or in 3 shots in a 1" group. (shots 8 and 9 are 1 1/4"...shots 2 and 3 are 1/2"

any ideas? how is my set-up? I was really shocked how easy the sabots could be loaded I hardly even had to fore it I mean at 5 year old could do it. They didn't drop in but they sure where not even close to being hard at all to push in.
