Today’s shoot was colder then a witches t_t, at least to me it was. I got set up at 100 yards with 2 targets, sense I needed to sight this new scope in. After getting it semi sighted in I shot semi fair, but every time I started to squeeze the trigger a cold blast of air would blow right up my back. So I was somewhat off with my shots.
Though the picture is a little blurry, you can still see my bad marksmanship. I will try and get a better pic when my son gets home and let him take the pic.
Top Left, was a fair 3 shot group.
Bottom left, was the best out of them all, 3 shots in one hole, not bad for a cold day.
Top right, not a great group
Bottom Right, two shots in the same hole and one stray
Center, was a rapid fire 4 shot group, very disappointing
Only thing I can say good about today’s shoot is that I love this new scope. __________________ Lo there do I see my Father...Lo there do I see my mother and my brothers and sisters...Lo there do I see the line of my peoples back to the begaining...Tho they do call to me...They bid me come take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla...Where the brave may live forever

Thats good shooting off a bipod. They might all look like the lower left group off some sandbags. Wind maybe contributed a bit as well.
Great shooting and report. Thanks for posting __________________

Opaww ain't nothing wrong with them groups, your in all the diamonds, and at quarter size. That's great shooting off a bi-pod and nice report, don't be so hard on yourself, brother.

Holy smokes, opaww! That's some mighty fine shooting! I am very impressed with the complete list of conditions and equipment. I should do that when I go to the range. I need to make up condition code words for the obnoxious teenagers shooting a shotgun in the next lane and for the giant bald LEO in the next lane over shooting his service weapon at paper plates. | |

That was kind of uncalled for. I actually like the tall, bald LEO in the next lane over. He's a cool dude. No need to get defensive on me. | |
