Keeping in shape

[Pieter Willem Vorster]

It is our off season in South Africa and to keep in shape, I am on shooting ranges on Saturdays. This is the results of last Saturday, shooting at a gong 500 meters away. The yellow dots are my shots with my 7mm Tombi - 9 hits and 1 miss. The red dots are two shots from another bloke.
The gong is 200mm in diameter. Next time I will move it to 550 meters.
Regards
Pieter

What happened to that 10 o'clock flier?

Oh, no question about that. Just wondered if you had any idea what ruined what had the potential of developing into a beautiful 100mm 10 shot group at 500 yards.
It's a curiosity born of years of competitive shooting - nothing more.

The wind was picking up slightly. So, it was a case of FearTheWind during the last two shots of which one missed the gong.
Usually I do not make shots this far at game. I would rather stalk and get closer and make absolutely sure to kill with one snot.

Tell me about your firearms and shooting!
