Edited to correct link. (The original place killed the link, hopefully, this one will stick around awhile).

Thanks for your efforts.

Managed to get out morning here is my first offering for the month.

[Griff]

Aye, 79 score for KiwiKev. Had to leave at midnite last nite... never got in any shooting... and yes, freezing temps do make for some interesting shooting!

[Griff]

Teeheehee, practicing a little helps! 1st two shots were in the 10 ring... and except for the single X, it went downhill from there!!!


And it shows that if you "think" you should be correcting... DON'T! You'll probably over-correct and throw one wide!!!

Out with grandkids the other day -- seemed like an OK day here in town but by the time we got out to the shootin' spot the weather had deteriorated towards the bitter. Here was our shooting:

At this point maybe I should have wondered if the rifle was as perfectly sighted in as I had assumed it was. And here is my target:

So now that we have detected we need a leetle sight adjustment I raised the peep up a bit and seemed about right when my crew rebelled at the 30 degrees/30 knot breeze stuff. We decided we'd had all the fun we could stand, so did not get our targets reshot. This 51 will have to stand for my December effort -- it doesn't look like I am getting back out.

[KiwiKev]

Confirm your 90 Griff, well done.

[KiwiKev]

Hi Earlmck, I calculate your family best as 68. (That is Cathy's) According to the rules a paper hit equals a 7. What do you think Griff? Your last group, though low, was very good.

[Griff]

Oh yeah, Yeppers! I'd be right proud of a group like that Earl! Good shooting all around!

[Griff]

Okay, this one is done. In a few minutes I'll send off the new post to AmBraCol to post up for January 2017! I'll be out praciticin' tomorrow if it don't rain!

[earlmck]

Good shootin' there Griff. And a nice job running things, though if half those fellers that voted to keep the competition to just the pistol caliber leverguns would show us their targets you'd be a lot busier.

I also have been practicing though you wouldn't know it from my score this month. I've been getting 40 shots in with the pellet guns about every other day. I know from previous experience that makes a significant difference in my off-hand shooting.
