Super User clayton86 Posted July 7, 2011 Super User Posted July 7, 2011 I was just bout to post in the everything else forum and I noticed that there's now a hunting section and I was gonna post bout shooting its like glenn read my mind. Well anyways back to shooting I was just out confirming the zero on my .243 because last time I shot it I was missing and not as tight as I wanted like I usually shoot. Well I got all set up expecting to be way off fired off 3rnds went checked my target and I had 1 hole 1 inch high. So I was a bit puzzled why I had 1 hole in a entire sheet of plywood. Could I have had 1 on target and the rest were off by more then 5 feet or so. Well I looked at the back side and what do ya know there's 3 distinct holes on the other side about 8th inch apart but still making 1 bigger hole. So I went back to 300yards fired 3 more rounds my grouping went up to 3/4 of an inch and 1/4low. Now that's amazing way less then a MOA and in a cheap marlin xs7 that cost me $380 with the scope. All I can say now is its ground hog time. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Super User Posted July 8, 2011 Id hope so that's what the army trained me to do. I love shooting I haven't to much this year last year I was firing couple hundred rounds a week. Yesterday was the first time I took a gun out sense january. One spot I fish at I like to carry a .22 or my .17 with me to smoke the woodchucks next to the pond for my buddy. Everytime I take a gun they don't come out but if I leave it at home ill see 15 of em I poked one last year with my tecspec rod he got so close to me. Quote
