That drop between 100 and 125 yards is about what I expected Cayugad. But what puzzles me is the drift to the right on the 125 yard target.

You may have noticed that I adjusted the sight a bit left after the 50 yard targe. And the 75 and 100 yard shots were pretty well centered on the bull. So why are the hits so far to the right at 125 yards?

As for as the sight picture, I'm using a Lyman peep sight. No way could I shoot groups like that with a regular open sight. And that 5" bull is quite manageable at 125 yards. Next time out I'll try 150 just for grins.
