BB you have a nice group there and for a first time outing with a rifle you have never fired before you have every right to be proud. Do you recall the sequence of the shots and each strike on the target? I'm guessing that the first shot was high and left and you worked your way down from left to right but that's a guess. Target diameter? I'm guessing a 14" x 14" but you tell me. Where you shooting prone, sitting, kneeling, or standing? Regardless, I congratulate you on a nice group, you have two positive kills on that target and a couple of shots that would have made the target die tired!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
Otis - the pic is a big 12" target. This was one of three (30 yds, 50 yds, and 100 yds)
(revised - just went down and measured the target)
Took 4 shots at each (12 shots took about an hour - since I fed the gun manually, and checked each shot out with my field glasses, and waited a few times for neighbors to go down range).
Have to say ---- Kind of fun shooting a quality rifle!
