Default Sighting in today.

I decided on the way out to shoot a cold clean shot at 150. I had the sighting somewhat done last time and I wanted to test that. So off the bench I shot this one.



I wish I could say it was nothing but skill but I would be fibbing. The next two were 3" to the right. I went back to 200 yards and that is where I had trouble. The truck was sitting on it's side on a side hill and I was having a b-hooch of a time getting my $hit together. I realized that because of the steepness of the hill I was resting the butt of the gun on the tailgate. That was causing my shots to be erratic. I got that straightened out and I shot these two shots back to back.




I wanted to get off that hill so I moved back to 250 yards. I ran out of room on the range there. I set the sight and it was close. I shot again and I wish I could say it was skill but I can't, not at that range. It was lucky but those two are at the bottom. I adjusted the sight up a few clicks and the higher one circled was it.




I had to call it quits, My shoulder had enough and the wind was starting to kick up. My next session I will shoot a cold clean shot at 200 but I need to find a different place. That side hill stunk. Then I will verify the 250 height and shoot a little closer. If all goes well I can start practicing with the shooting sticks at various yardages. That will be more of hunting practice than target.
