I don't see any reason to move closer if they are all on target like that unless you just want to. If anything I might move back ten more to make it an even 100 if I could.

If you put half a twist in the sling it helps with the hasty sling, making it wrap flat around your arm. I can't tell any difference in the way it carrys.

Different bullet
 

This morning a different bullet (pictured) was used in the Dream Season shown in the OP. It was 27 degrees, and zero breeze. Shot in a different spot too. The last time i shot, up where i always have, the truck turned into a toboggan when coming back down the trail; i had little desire to repeat that ride.

screwbolts, sent a bunch of these bullets quite awhile back. He say they are 289 grain water dropped, wheel weight, hard cast. He, and his family use these bullets on deer, and he say they knock the snot out of them critters. They are made to use in sabot, and i used them in the black crush ribs. Regulation require expanding bullets, so i can't hunt with them, but they sure penetrate deep, and sure blow up water jugs. The bullet was tested two summers ago, using 80 grain Blackhorn, and placing the carpet, plywood, water jugs, phone books at 25 yard. The bullet penetrate almost through the whole world, just stopping in the last pages of the last phone book. There appears to be considerable hydraulic shock that somehow happens without the bullet expanding.














Using the hasty sling, and having a good cheek weld, seems to help me shoot off hand. Standing in a way that puts weight on skeletal, instead of muscle, also seems to be good for me.

Gettin better!!! I'm still betting the one away from the other 2 is your last shot! Hit the weights Ron! I aint talkin 250 on the bench. Just a couple of 5-10 pounders and do some lat flies, curls, and extensions. Don't push HARD but push yourself a bit. As your strength increases, your groups will shrink.

How many of you "think" you can do better than that (standing free hand) ??

Go a head and post your targets here !!!

I don't think you are going to see many.

I'd say that's some pretty good shooting Ron. Sure it won't win any national matches but for deer and elk it will definitely get the job done.
Just remember: feet position, less muscle tension, relax and squeeze....

You won't see many shooters on here doing much better unless they've are shooting offhand on a regular basis. Heck I know that, not here, but there are guys that couldn't do that well of a bench with their MLs.

Just because you can't. Don't assume others can't. I'm not one to take pictures of range sessions. I don't even remember why I did this one. It's only 75 yds, but 90 yds wouldn't look any different. The first 3 shots were sight adjustments.

That there is something to be proud of son.

Thanks, Ron, but as I said earlier. Offhand is all i've done all my life. You'll get better the longer you stick with it.

That was with a Wolf, Powerbelts and open sights. I can do better with a sidelock and a PRB. The Wolf barrel is too short to hold steady and the trigger sucks compared to a double set trigger for offhand shooting..

Pete,

That's good shooting; but what makes you so sure you're the only one who can do that at 75 yards ??
