Looking forward to weekend shooting. Was waiting for a couple more OSS suppressor adapters which seem to be suck in the postal system so I took on off one of my M14s for the time being. Rifle is ready for business. Whatta Hobby!

Did you let the barrel cool down between firings?

[nf1e]

No, I ran this on a two minute timer so the barrel warmed up a bit. I credit everything that was not a hit on the 1/4 dots to my wobble factor and pulse. Of course had I added 1 click, 1/8moa elevation to the scope it should have netted me an additional 3 hits for a possible score of 4 -8. Looking forward to another attempt soon. Whatta Hobby!

Shot a 2-7 this morning. Max spread is hanging right around a .4. Whatta Hobby!

We all have wobble factor and most of the time, we still have a pulse. Maybe not a perfect pulse rate but we know we are still alive.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself, just to make sure. Amazing how much pulse can factor into trying to hit them little bitty dots. Doesn't take much wind to push a bullet off target either. Whatta Hobby!
