12/23/10 - Shooting with the Private

Today Private Jake Cox and I did some firing drills upon some exploding targets.  After that fun, I set up a target at the familiar 425 yards for some twilight shooting.  It was muddy, wet and cold, but we still managed to have a little fun.  As you can see, I have 3 sets of groups here.  I used the last few times at this distance as a starting point, dialing 32 clicks of elevation into the scope.  The result was the 3 shot grouping on the right had side of this 12 inch target.  Jake called my shots for me, so I then put to clicks of windage into the scopes which resulted in the upper left two shot grouping.  Then I removed one of the two clicks and recorded the middle grouping of two shots.  I have no idea what caused my point of impact to shift up... still these groupings are 2"-3" apart, meaning sub MOA grouping.  Not terrible when you consider that I haven't taken any shots since the first part of October.


This little video shows how much fun Private Cox and I had.
