No, the sight was not loose. I double checked it every time before I shot. However, I see what you mean about resting on the rock. I didn’t have this problem before when resting on a rock, but maybe it happened this time.

Now that I think about it, this time I WAS resting it a different way then the other times I shot. Maybe that’s what happened.

I will try resting it a different way with a different object, like a sandbag, like you said.

I will do that as soon as I get some more ammunition and some breech plug grease. I ran out of both today.
