I know this isnt an excuse, But I dont get a lot of spare time to go shooting, and the time I do get, I am not using effectively IMHO. This is very true, Hunting and Stalking are different animals all together, It just comes down to practice, going out and shooting, listening to other people, and using a level head to take in what has been told to you, what should be adhered to, what should be discarded, and what should be followed up with a few others. Its just like any hobby/sport/interest, you will always get a few differing ideas on everything.
The .17 and .22 are currently Shooting rather aweful, I am unsure if it is me, or the rifles, or both, They both have BSA Airrifle scopes on them, as they are just fun guns, the 22WMR was shooting just as strange as the .17 and .22, I disassembled the rifle on the weekend, and dropped the action from the stock, and found that the two bolts that held the rifle action to the stock, where rather loose, this would explain why when shooting it, I could get them to stack one on top of eachother, then the next magazine, it would be out or be impacting in a different area, or shooting all over the shop. Pushing the magazine in, would cause the action to move, and therefor alter the impact point, let alone, change the harmonics, etc etc...
So I am going to drop the trigger guard off the .22 and .17 and just nip everything up, and re zero.. I suspect it may help them along...
But yes, Back to the question at hand, I can comfortable hit items at 50-80m currently. I havent shot prone, its mostly Standing, when at the range its just on a rest normally, which doesnt help, I may pop over to belmont and do some shooting down in the standing area, and see if this helps me along.
The only difference between VFR/IFR/NVFR, is the amount of available lumens, and the fact that you have to talk to someone that tells you what to do all the time.. And Frankly I prefer to look outside while flying, it tells you an aweful lot of what is going on
And thats the way it is..
