Default Northern Renegade Playtime

Gorgeous day out there today. The snow won't last long with these temps.



I took the Renegade .50 out today. I did an intitial zero at 15 yds then moved it out to 50 yds. The first target shots 1-8 were all zeroing shots. One of the shots from 456 might have been from the barrage but other than that they were all shot after moving the sights. The holes that are not numbered were all fired one after the other with no sight adjustments. The barrel was not swabbed at all until I was finished doing my 3 shots off hand.



My off hand shooting still sucks.



I was shooting of my cinder block / sandbag rest today. I'll try this again using the rest to see what happens.

That is some good shooting. Off hand with me, I will not even talk about.

Nothing wrong with that off-hand target HuntAway. That bull can't get away - Ya` got him surrounded!

Funny thing is I've never had a problem shooting offhand for deer. It's those dang stationary targets that throw me for a loop.

T7 is not designed for PRB it blows of the patches [or burns them off] you will either need to put a wad below the PRB or much better get some Pyrodex or Black powder.

I noticed that. I've got a wasp nest in the garage for buffer material. I'll try some of that as well as some wonder wads that I have.
