Like you really need any luck from an antler horn. Id be lucky to see the dime let alone hit it. How many rounds did you shoot at the dime before it was in the dirt? By the way what is the hold for the the pistola on that target here with the diamonds on it you posted yesterday? Are you holding at the outer point to get them in the center?
That was my last 4 rounds on the brass and dime...no pressure!

My pistol shoots pretty true I think. Any pull either way is me. I have my little finger under the grip to support as well. As with the rifle, my biggest hurdle is to not overthink and just shoot.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Great shooting as always RR! I going to try some of those targets one day.... a challenge to see if I can work up to your shooting abilities! :D
Going to be a hot and humid week ahead so who knows when I will get to shoot.

You guys in the desert need to man up. Be like RR. He shoots in snow wind and at 20 below. Never complains. Get that sombrero out bug ole jug of water and get out there and shoot.
