Yesterday i shot high-power at Richmond. I haven't shot it since Sept'07, and i still don't feel all that motivated for it. i'm glad one of my coworkers is starting to go hard core with it, maybe that will pick me up. Its hard when the original 2 coworkers of mine started shooting high power a few years back, got me into it, then left for almost 2 years. While i'm still going at it, now they are starting back. oi!
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 185-4x
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 92
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 96-1x
600 Yard Slow Prone: 95-1
Total: 468-6x (ick!)
The weather was mad. Cold with drizzle and ed and i were stuck to the 3rd relay. It seemed to me that i was grouping to the left, i made some adjustments but it wasn't working. Also on the rapids, i forgot how to use the service rifle sling! I have the sling marked where to put the hooks on the bottom and where to stick your arm, but i didn't mark the top hook and i had moved it before. Oi! i got it working somehow but it didn't work enough.
Lets see, arm goes in where the arrow on the right side is pointed, but the hook on the left, where does that attach to? doh!
-i'm surprised that my offhand is pretty good for a rifle that i haven't touched (and cleaned for once) in 5 months. The pit service for offhand was so slow that i thought the guy was beyond quick. All i saw were X's and 10s thinking that man i'm good! While the guy was hiding from the rain he didn't see the multiple .22 holes popping up.
-There were a few times on the offhand where i can feel my subconcious and body anticipating the shot. This rifle has no recoil whatsoever and yet my body still reacts to it. Luckily i noticed it and corrected it before i had bad shots.
-Rapid sitting was low and to the right.
-Rapid Prone was high with a left right group on the 9/10 ring line. It always works like this, i shoot 2 sighting shots, both x's. Then when its time to go it goes sideways. ugh!
Got home did 3 loads of laundry. How does Gore-tex wash?
