WOW thanks for all the good ideas. I will try the wet and dry swab after each shot including the first. One flier was the first shot at 50 where I usually don't have any trouble. I do agree the only shot that counts is the FIRST. I tell a lot of once a year so called hunters this when it takes them 3 shots or so to find the target Oh Well !!! THANKS A LOT it sure is good to get such great help so easy on this board!
