I was able to get out Saturday but not as early as expected. I got out of work late, then wife caught me with the DO list. Didn't get in the field till 4pm not the 12:30 I was planning.
I got my target set up and went to 100yrds. First shot in the bullseye(as a hunter this is most important to me). Second shot right next to it. Good start.
Next I set up at 200yrds and shot with no adjustments to scope or POA. Shots were almost perfect L-R but about 5.5inches low. It was so dusty I couldn't drive back to forth to target because with no wind the dust just lingered. If you've picked peanuts you know the dust I speak of.
Next I went out to 300yrds and dialed in 5moa up per LR55. He was pretty dang close. Round hit target about 3inchs low. I was able to clearly see the holes so that was nice. The bad part was I was running out of time so I didn't have time to change scope setting and try again.
After jogging 300yrds to and fro I drove out to 566yrds and shot my last set before dark. I put in LR55 9mins and shot 5. At this point I was kinda tired and was def breathing a little hard from the jog. Much to my surprise I had one almost perfect bulls eye and the other four were on the target. I was very happy. I wish I woulda had more time to take it slower and shoot more and take notes.(and to try wolf at same distances).
All in all it was fun and I learned something and I'm more confident. Next time I'll remember a chair so I don't have to sit on the side of the truck bed.
Thanks again. I'll put up pictures if I ever learn to resize pictures on the tablet.
