But remember it is a peep sight (knida a mini scope) - not a buck horn... In my mind the peep is a lot easier to shoot...

You can see that i cut the 6" Orange Dot in half and held a 6:00 hold on the bottom of the orange... It would have really been nice if I could have seen the black triangle - but i am telling you at 100 the 6" 1/2 orange circle was difficult... it was just a little bigger than a dot on top of the front sight.

When I was shooting, and remember this off a portable fold up bench so I was fairly stable, I only remember 1 shot that I did not feel good about. And I am not even sure that it was the high one at noon on the target.

You mentioned the size of the group, I guess I never measured that - it just looked spread out all over heck.

Since I am not a real round ball shooter, do not shoot them enough or hunt with them, I am pretty much still learning my way through it. I do not know if 70 grains of T7-2f is even enough (1700 fps) to hunt with with if I wanted to - but for Rondy shooting it is like shooting a 22 mag. Which leads to another problem.... the really long targets that they put on the walking course - those are really difficult for me, 1. to guess the range and 2. calculate what might be the drop of the ball.

Which still leaves me with the same deduction...

Need to shoot more balls at the longer ranges
