[QUOTE="grit, post: 96202, member: 4112"] Finally got to shoot again, today. I'm still excited. I brought two targets today. My gong, and a 2' x 4' piece of plywood. I started at 500. Shot the gong first. First shot hit. I then shot a group at the plywood target. I then noted the elevation. Next, I backed up to six hundred. First shot at the gong - bonk! I then shot a group at the plywood target, and noted the elevation. Next, I backed up to seven hundred. First shot at the gong - bonk! Another group on the plywood for elevation. Next I backed up to eight hundred. First shot at the gong - bonk! Another group for the record, and I had to shoot the gong once more, just because- bonk! Next I backed up to nine hundred. I only had four bullets left. First shot at the gong- I'm still waiting. A group on the plywood, and the last bullet for the gong. Missed. My inpection of the target after the nine hundred shots showed the group 12" left of center. Must have been some wind I didn't notice? The biggest three shot group was four inches!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also started by checking my zero at 100, dialing up to 500 and back to 100 for a second shot, then dialing up to 800 and back to 100 for the third shot. This group is 5/16" ! [/QUOTE]
