I finally remembered to bring photocopies of my test target to the range. Today was a decent day. The top two three round groups were first groups of the day and I figured that I should go right to the test target which was the third group after a few 1/10 mil corrections. I am still working on building the cash reserve for a MK6 but it keeps getting raided for "needs".

Nothing to blame but me on this one Mark! I knew it when I did it on each group (pushing with shoulder, bad trigger manipulation, all me!). I have been away from the gun for too long and need to give myself a refresher on the basic mechanics. Before I go out next time I will order the Accuracy 1st rear bag, plus I think I'll try to drop the magnification down as I was letting my pulse distract me. Oh well, that's the fun of going out again!!!!
eta - I wound up shooting about 7 - 5 shot groups and was continually mucking up one of the rounds, again - all me, nothing with the equipment! |

Certificate and Dillo arrived yesterday !! Now to find a spot on the wall. Thanks again Mark for the hyper accurate rifles and top of the line customer service. And thanks to John Wier for handling the mechanics of the contest. Your support staff are second to none. ????
