man, what a long fun day so far
got up EARLY, and have been playing at the range... sighted in the .22LR with the GOOD ammo and was doing some nice 1 inch groups at 50 yds, so went to the 100 yard, i mean METER range... oh wait, 100 METERS... er, what's that in YARDS, cuz my sights need to know... 109.36133 yards roughly. oh, good, my scope has a 110 yd line. NOW the bullets hit the 10 ring. ye yah. MUCH better
note to self: complain to management that the 100 yards range is METERS. it makes a different quite a lot with .22LR
the other two ranges are 25 yards and 50 yards, and the long range is 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards... but NOOOOooooooOOOOO, stupid range is in meters.
that would explain last season's sighting in with the so-so ammo not being quite where i liked it. well, within six inches, but oddly low
also a bit scatter plot looking, cuz it's so-so ammo. GOOD ammo is within 2 inches or so if you do everything right, and the wind isn't blowing. i'm willing to believe that doing everything VERY well might gain a 1/2 in or so, and using VERY good ammo would help quite a lot.
nonetheless, i am feared by chipmunks and other small critters now. well, if i was a hunter of other than paper targets.
and that's my day so far. time for some flesh of cow or something.
first a shower.
