Good shooting with a neat rig.
So, you don't clean at all but do you use a blow tube between shots?

Is your shooting range enclosed? I see one side is concrete.
Those are consistent loads, is one of your numbers SD and the other extreme spread?

The ES for the first target is 25 and for the second 12.In each 10 shot group i had one shot who was way of the average of the vo.Theses shots were deleted.Actually the sighter shots were recorded too,so,12 shots for each target.

You do not need to feel bad about those targets.

What everyone else said, plus I love your rear tang sight and Garmin chronograph. Is that a Marble's rear?
