Gave it away as an A grader at the time the Mt Richmond range got burned down. Just giving smallbore a go for 1 season for the average hunter type shooter has enormous benefits.

Aperture shooters @ Masterton average 98-99 with a few X's thrown in for good measure.
Last NDC shoot a couple of weeks ago - we had a number shoot 100's with some 7-9 X's.
My best (with a scope @ 10x) is 99, 6 X's, these guys regularly shoot 98-99, 6-8 X's with apertures.
The oldest shooter just turned 70, youngest is early 20's.
Great practise - and we have a wood stove fire in the 'social' room, with a kitchen and chocolate biscuits too .
Best way to refresh rusty skills IMHO.
