    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    They were shot at 100m at 24mm dots. The first three shots were the ones just above the dot on the left hand target. Then things went pear shaped when someone thought they needed to close their eyes when they pulled the trigger because it jumped a bit more than the 22lr.

    We need to get back to the range don't we?

    I always close my eyes .. and dream the round on its way to where i"m aiming it.

    I pull the trigger as hard as I can too, too give that little piece of lead a bit of extra "oomph"

    Sounds like that technique will work well Tim. do you give lessons?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    I will give it a go but not sure I will get it right after all of these years of keeping my eye on the target.

    Rushy I thought you guys were meant to be taught to have both eyes open.

    Yes but I am right eye dominant so that is the one that I really have on the target. My left eye is fairly useless for seeing anything beyond the end of my left arm.
