Most of the guys I'm shooting better than are the ones that spend all their time telling people how good they are, and what the other person is doing wrong.
Most of the guys I'm shooting worse than are the ones that have their head down and their mouth shut and are concentrating on shooting.
I wonder if that's a coincidence

I wouldn't say it's great but it is happening

No one seemed to bother me.
Didn't have anyone coming over to teach my friend either, who was getting getting plenty of hits as well and is completely new to shooting.

wimpb wrote:It's about 230mm. According to my drop tables my elevation is 4.6 mils with a 100m zero. It was our first outing with "long-range" .22lr, I might get some video next time.
cavok wrote:I thought that at 150 metres, 30 less than you are shooting the drop was over 10inches? Extremely good shooting for both of you at 180 mtrs, with a 23cm / 9" steel plate. No wonder they don't bother you.
wimpb wrote:4.6mils at 180m is 32 inches of drop. When I think about it it seems like a hell of a lot. The steel was about 1mil big in the scope so it didn't seem like a crazy feat at the time. I did spend hours on those drop tables so I guess it paid off.
