Title: Range Trip Today
Post by: old frank on March 08, 2011, 04:28:48 PM
I finally got to the range today and took over one of the training pits where I could get a 40 yard shot.

I sighted the Mueller in at 20 yards using so #7 shot I had. Left to right was good but had to make two up adjustments.

I shot the Fed HW #7 from 20 and had to come back down a little.

Finally moved to 40 yards. I had a makeshift front rest and just me on the rear.
I have always shot at turkey targets but after I shot I brought the cardboard backer home and counted the pellet holes.

192 I think I can kill a turkey with this.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/frankt/Hunting/20gaTarget20113-3-201110-32-40PM2048x1536.jpg)
