This is what makes it the most impressive to me Ron.
I'm obviously not a long distance shooter, but every time I target shoot I tend to jack to the highest power no matter what the yardage (most all my scopes are 3x-9x). Heck, even when I hunt I often turn up the dial for a shot that is even only 100yds if I have plenty of time. Dial normally stays on 3x, unless hunting a more open area then maybe 4x-5x.

I guess I need to shoot more, and with lower power. Obviously its not a handicap, you proved that. I don't shoot near as often as I'd like or as I used to. Too much kid stuff pulling me all over.


Semi, the way you are shooting you could take that thing groundhog hunting @ 200yds!!
