It was really bad today :!:

I took my #3 PRB Renegade to the farm just to check it out in case I needed to use it. It is a 50 cal also but is equipped with a TC Tang Sight. I a not really found of this sight, other than it being a peep, as I hate sights that have slide and glide sight adjustments... how can you be precise???

I had shot the gun late last week and was not really pleased with the results but the wind at the farm was terrible that day, so I blamed it on the wind... Back out today and the wind was about as calm as it is going to get...

First thing I did was set up a target at 50 yards along with a couple of birds.



I shot 3 shots at the target which hit pretty decently... Actually thought is should be higer on the target and it was shooting left of the 'Point of Aim'. I actually knew this from last week and todays mission was to try adjust the sight to move the POI right...

After shooting the target the birds were not a problem... Got them with the two allotted shots.

Next moved the target to 100 and again placed two birds in the mud.

Shot two 3 shot groups.. Group 1 was shot with Speer .490 round balls and then Group 2 was shot using Hornady .490 round balls.



I then tried the clay pigeons... Missed 3 shots in a row, but through the glasses I could see the impact spots and felt I was very close + trying to compensate for the left/right error. On the 4th shot I hit the bird and it was solid hit with sight compensation. Next and 5 shots later - no luck on the second bird - although I splattered it with a good coat of mud from the field.

Finally walked picked up the target and bird moved the bird to 75 yards and dispatched it with the next shot...

Frustrated - I picked up and came here to write this painful message...

Now I know why #39 is number 3 on my list. #2 on the list is a 54 cal Renegade which hopefully I can shoot later in the week - March 4th is coming in a hurry.
