This morning at the range I couldn't even shoot three shot groups. I was useless. Still... a bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. :)

...pretty much anything else. Shooting is fun, even for those of us who can't hit the broad side of a barn. ;)

If I'm shooting for group size I will often open the lever/bolt and leave it open for 30 seconds to cool, then close the bolt and take aim.

I shoot the best when I time it between heart beats.
