Howa Mini 22" sporter barrel, Vortex Diamondback set at 12x, Hornady Black 123 ELD-M, 100 yards, Liberty Mystic-X
Took the Mini out today. I fought to concentrate against AR pistol guys banging away at a ridiculous pace at covered firing benches. It took a few adjustments to get close enough for today, but I'm going to head back out on a better day. I should be able to tighten these up some when it is easier to concentrate..
The only group I measure was the one with the scratches between the holes (0.9"). Firing was done off a bipod, no rear bag, 100 yards suppressed. Full position reset was done between shots due to testing suppressor attachment consistancy. I took it off and put it back on between shots. See Gallery for rifle pics.

Good progress -- shooting is therapy for me too!
I don't know whether it is the deep breaths and slow let-off before touching off the shot, the concentration needed, the combination, or something else, but I generally feel relaxed after a session.

It is definitely therapeutic, almost like meditation, just with a strong punctuation at the end!
OmmmmmmmÂ…. OmmmmmmmÂ…. Bang

For me, the therapy part is excluding everything else out of my mind and concentrating on the minute details of a good shot. Before my eyes started aging, I would shoot rimfire at 50 yards with peeps and rival what a lot of people called acceptable at 25.
It is also nice meeting other shooters at the range and chatting about whatever.
