Painting the Garage Floor
 

Today was the day i planned to paint the floor, so i grabbed a couple of rifles, the bi-pod, and headed for the hills. It was only 67*, so shooting was good, and was done standing, using the bi-pod. The target was at near 102 yard.

The Triumph has a 4x scope, and it was loaded with 270g Gold Dot in a crush rib sabot, pushed by 105g of BH209, which was ignited by W209 primer. Seven shots on the target looked like:







The Accura followed, and has iron sights with a peep. It was loaded with 300g Gold Dot in short black Harvester sabot, pushed by 105g BH209, ignited by W209 primer in a home made breech plug. I believe using the scope first, had me miss-using the iron sights i.e. holding too high. The following 7 shot target looks kinda scant.







Using the bi-pod sure has helped my ability to 'squaeeeeze' the trigger.

Looks good...You paint almost as good as I do... :)

Not to shabby. Thats about what my groups looked like this morning at 100 yards using the bipods. You'll kill a deer with that group.

I couldn't complain about that, from standing..

Looks like you're getting it nailed down Ron. (Better than painting, for sure.) Dem critters is in da big trouble.

Ya know I put off that paint job for a long time after I put up a new garage. I came out very well and looks good too when I finally finished it.

But now as to the important stuff, nice groups. Those are great for hunting and shooting from a support system in a field simulation. I should do this same test. We seem to always wait until in the field. When we do take that shot, we wonder why we didn't practise before hand after we miss!
