| Dead-eye Dick making a "run" of 7 chickens... |
Well, I'd say I was humbled but considering I didn't ever get the chance to properly prepare for the match I'm not that disappointed. Oh, I didn't do so well at first, only getting 2 chickens on the first bank but cleaned the second. However, things went down hill from there. I had no idea where to hold on any of the other targets because I didn't get to try the gun and ammo combination prior to the match. I had a rough zero. I did manage to get a turkey and a couple of rams. One ram was hit in the base knocking it backwards from under the target and making the ram fall forward of the stand. A little bit of drop there. But not being properly zeroed was the least of my problems. I was pretty darn shaky today. I need practice!
Practice has been a big problem for me the past few years. I need time to go to the range to practice. Nana seems to think that my time is her time. We'll have to make adjustments so that I have time to practice. With practice I can be better. Nana even mentioned that was so.
I used my Thompson Center Arms Contender with 21" .22 LR Match barrel, a Norinco scope (since removed), and 1980s vintage Winchester high velocity 40 gr. round nose ammo.
P.S. I guess I didn't say that I got 15 out of 40! I can shoot better but I did not.
