Anyway, I've seen some pretty poor shooting lately and some of it has been mine.

I started shooting small bore prone at 18, this year I started shooting non-prone in service rifle, Im ***** awful with a capital F and A, LOL.

The only way I'd kill a deer at more than 50m is if it laughed itself to death....

I hear that!
I used to shoot .22 prone indoor, from 12, and was ok. Fast forward a few years of not shooting ( including a bit of not so good for body or mind persuites) then back into shooting, and i couldn't hit a barn door at 19m... Getting better, but getting older certainly slows the learning rate
Or maybe i just over think things these days.....


Oh and i think i got got a good one, my 10/22, all standard apart from buffer by me (got some nylon rod that fitted), polishing most things roughly by me and a dremal, seems to shoot under a inch at 98m with cci subs and win power point. About 4 in with win subs and cci stingers - go figure, role reversal.

Now just need to find more cci subs........ ( and time to shoot )
