Great shooting as always NCG. You really have to go the the range and try this stuff for yourself to understand how difficult it is to pattern like this at these distances.

Thanks. For sure, you have to be a shooter and a bit of a shooting nut, at that, to measure groups down to a tenth of an inch or less. That's me, though. :)

Nice shooting. Both very cool guns and in the right hands, you get the right results.

NCG, you taught me how to shoot with irons, and I really appreciate. Interestingly, the two best shooters at our range are currently working on shooting 22 rifles with aperture sights at 100 yards. It’s pretty impressive to watch them.

Thanks, ditto. I love shooting my CZs with tangent sights at 100 yards, but I wait for just the right day when both my eyes and the shooting conditions are good. Can get pretty intense as to the concentration it takes, but now and then I pull off a real wall hanger.

Probably my best ever iron sight group and with open sights at that. Not sure I can ever repeat this one, but, of course, I still try. Just to give you an idea of much effort it takes, I spent over 30 minutes just to shoot 5 shots. Whenever something wasn't absolutely perfect, I would back off and wait. Did that at least a dozen times. I was exhausted, but elated at what I could do.

That's a wall hanger group, for sure. Nice shootin' is an understatement!
