Default Super DISC @ the Farm

I had some time this mrning so I took the Super DISC and headed to the farm to get a little recreational shooting in. Forgot the darn camera so I can not show you the setup.

I set clay pigeons at 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 yards, plus I dropped a target at 100 yards. I really that this setup would keep me entertained for a good part of the morning.

I was shooting off my portable fold up shooting bench with a Caldwell Rock and a Jr. Rock on the back. It was great moring to shoot 60* and little wind which is not the norm at the farm but it was welcomed...

I began the shooting working on the birds from 50 to 150 yards. It was a bunch of fun.

After that I went to the target just to check the 100 yard elevation. Since I use a 3" PBR I wanted to be between 2.75 and 3" above the POI that allows me to dead at about 170 yards.
Shot the first group, made a scope adjustment of 6 clicks to move the bullet right and shot the second group.

Not the best groups in the world but for myself I can live with that shooting a deer.

So I pronumce the gun ready for the Idaho rifle deer season.

Looks good. I'd say it's ready for deer season. I'll be taking my 1:20 disc antelope hunting this Saurday. I think I will try to get in one more practice session with it before then. Hopefully I will have something to post about after the weekend.

Yeah, that'll do. But you know of course Sabotloader, there wouldn't be any space between those holes with Blackhorn.

I'm dying to go shooting but life keeps getting in the way. Wish I had a place close to home instead of an hour and a quarter away.

Very nice shooting...

I might have to invest in a protable shooting bench. My table I built is popping nails every time I use it or move it. Almost need to carry a hammer with me to shoot. And when winter sets in it don't get any better. These 30º cold nights are starting to move metal again. Wait until the -20º hits. Any recommendations Mike?

SS shooter hope you get into em and when you do get some pictures... Which bullet did you decide to use, I know the one we are waiting for - we are still waiting for...

Semi, I am surprised a man with all your skills and mental ablitity... In fact I think I remember you saying one time or more... Priorities - a man has to have the Priorities in the correct order - go shoot - other things will wait.... I stand right in front of Terry face to face and tell this exact same thing.... and that it came from you... hope you two do not meet any time soon...

Cayugad... This is the one that I use - bought it at Sportemans Warehouse several years ago. Found this one at Mid South Shooters. I do not use the piece for the fron rest at all - it is long gone. It has worked very well for me... but I also know there are better ones out there....

I'm using the ones we are waiting for. I have 48 of them . I'm going to shoot about half them up or so, then keep the rest to hunt with . Someone was nice enough to send me their personal stash. I should have enough for antelope and deer .

I do not even have one left cuz I shot my 5 shot reserve from a 1-28 to see if they would work - they didn't...

Nice shooting SL. That is a nice rifle. Not good for me though. That thumbhole if tough for a lefty to shoot.
