I would say that is very good shooting at 200 yards BP.

Thank's Art, but after reading the replys to mountiandevil and all I figured I'd better put my Mouth where my foot was to be sure, well I was wrong. Last Season (when I was in the Zone) and had no Pressure's or Worries I had a few good outings where I had them 2"+- Groups at 200 yds.
I Guess 3-4" Groups at 200 is'nt so bad but I know I can do better, I did it befor.
For now Im gonna blame it all on the 12+ Hour Days I've been working to Finish Up our Grape Harvest Season, plus the 7 Day Work weeks all add up on ya, the Older you get the more you feel it.
But by mid next week we should be done and then Im gonna make the transisition to Deer Hunting Fool. I'll try My Best to Get a Nice P&Y Buck during Archery Seaon, them lotsa Practice to get me back into the ML Mode for our Gun Season, starts Nov 20th, so I got some time yet.
Also them 200yd Shots are ONLY to get me GOOD for them 50-125yd Shots. I very Rarely take Long Shots unless the Conditions are Perfect and they seldome are. I find that if you shoot LONG you'll be a better shooter at short distances. Just like with My Bow, for IBO Shoots (shots to 55yds) I Practice to about 80yds so them 50yd shots are easy (or easier) then when Bow Season comes 20-30 yard shots are CAKE

You wouldn't say that to planning a vacation. Hell, this is even better. It's free

Lots of time to practice that 150 yard "offhand" shooting (from a knee rest).

Shoot i may even just have to go back to where i started and shoot an ol winchester x150 with pyrodex and them lovely powerbelts just to get back to the old days when i still got picked on for those things

You guys never change but i do owe you all a Thank You for all the harassing and heckling over the handful and a half of years.

It truly has been an inspiration to push myself.

Thank You

If you still have room for people, I may be able to make it but I wouldn't know for sure until a month or two before. I'm at the bottom of the totem pole at work so I only get what's left for vacation time. I would probably have to stay at a hotel, as my wife would also probably be coming, which means the two little monsters would also be coming.
