July 1st BB45C at the range

Post by **RanchRoper** » Fri Jul 01, 2016 10:39 pm

Finally got to the range! Very windy again. 50mph cross wind. You can see the effect on the 50 yd target. Too many to the left. Shot a combo of Hornady and American Eagle. For the hell of it I put last 5 rounds on 100 yd target. All shots off hand standing with factory sights of course. Fun night!

A 50 mph crosswind is for sure not wimpy! Very good off hand shooting.
And especially so at the 50 yard range. With the POIs in that 12" bull, you'll easily stop the critter in his tracks.
The 25-yard target shows you're getting a good handle on rapid fire, too...way to go!

All around good shooting = your fun night!

25 yards off hand is right in there and the 50 yards isn't bad at all. And, at least you hit the target at 100 yards. You are doing really well with your new rifle. I would not want to shoot at all with a 50 mph wind!

It was not too windy at home but once I got to the range it was really blowing steady. Of course there's no wind at all now that I'm home.

I had fun though. I have not shot for over 2 weeks, so it was time to let some lead fly!!

just curious .... did you change your site point when going from 25 -- 50 -- 100 yards ?

Actually I do. The rear sight is on the 2nd from bottom at 25 yds, up 1 at 50 yds and 2nd from top at 100 yds. If no wind, at 100 yds I can usually get on the paper. Tonight was a few wild ones at 100 yds.

You're shooting as well as an old west cowboy, RR. I always look forward to your range reports. Thanks.

That's nice shooting. Aren't you glad you are doing it all off hand? The more you practice, the better you will become.

Do you have the factory sights on it still, I can't remember?
