Let's see what you can do.
Last Tuesday I went to the range with my CVA Wolf to be sure it was ready for deer season. I didn't shoot anything spectacular but adequate for harvesting a deer out to 100 yards.
While I was sighting it in I took a few shots OFFHAND at 100 yards just to see what I could do. It would be interesting to see what you guys can do offhand at 100 yards. My first 2 shots were with 110 grains Pyrodex Select and the second 2 were with 85 grains of the same powder. I was shooting a 240 grain, .45 caliber XTP in a .50 caliber Thompson Center sabot. The primer was a regular CCI 209.

I don't have 100yds. This is 75 yds. Some say the target is 86yds. I don't know for sure. The first three shots were sighting in the iron sights. The 4 shots in the circle were standing offhand no sling, but i'm half blind.

Me shooting off hand is a good way not to mess up a paper target. All seriousness.. I am one of the worst off hand shooters these days. And the further I get away from the target, the worst I get. That is one reason I have been shooting A LOT with my .22 caliber Sig Sauer, trying to learn hold, breathing, etc.. and it is helping. That is some good off hand shooting people.
