    Er, couple of random 8's and 9's snuck into my usual 10's with a little Taurus 9mm at the Lafayette Range in Yorktown VA last Monday night.

    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    bottles of water or fizzy bottles shaken up work well at long distance. or rabbits at 250+ are a great target with the 223

    Computers say "no"

    From a few months ago - Dell 2550 (2U rack mounted server) and another desktop computer became targets for 7.62x39, 7.62x51 and 12 ga:

    Mate that is a fairly big grouping on those computers.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Oh for sure, groupings weren't of particular concern at the time - computers make a horrible mess, do not recommend as targets.

    Was almost going to shoot a hedgehog that was mugging around down my driveway tonight. In a more enjoyable note, I put my wife's cat in front of it as the dog don't do hedgehogs due to past experiences ..
    Quite the bail up,
    After the first pounce the cat now knows why the dog don't like them
    Mr Hog lives another day.

    Theses were a cheap buy after halloween. Cans of fizzy drink are another favourite
    Is this before and after? If so you defiantly need the practice!
