  • Another Nice Day at the Range!

    Gorgeous afternoon at the range today! Had the place all to myself so I could take my time with the Marlin and a new red fiber front sight I got for it. It's amazing how much I improved over last week with a small red piece of plastic. I still don't think it's quite sighted in completely but never the less much better. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to sighting in a rifle so I'll need to get some help from someone with more experience than me. Anyone in the Mid Hudson area willing to give me a hand? I'll buy pizza afterwards, lol!

    Anyway, here's a photo of the target I shot last week.

    And this week at 15 yards.

    And 25 yards.

    My grouping got better but not as much as I would have liked. Practice makes perfect I guess I absolutely love the Marlin 60!! Very great rifle that I see getting hours upon hours of use...just so long as I don't run out of ammo like I did today. Knew I should have brought the second box, lmao!!

    What do you guys think about the targets and grouping? Do I suck or am I doing OK? I really have no reference to go on, or is there one?
    I could be wrong...it's happened before and it'll happen again.

    Standing?
    Bench rest?
    Sandbags?
    Eyes open?
    Backwards using a mirror?

    Details man details!

      Heck, I forgot to mention that part. My bad. On both targets today it was about 1/3 standing, bench rest and sandbag. The one from last week was all standing.

        I wish I had time to make it to the range today. Maybe tomorrow!

        That is a NICE looking bunch of meat!

        I can still find a use for my thumb, even though it no longer has a hole to finger.

        I could have been enjoying his nuts.

          Sighting in while standing is like trying to swat a fly while riding a bike.
          Sandbag first. Fallback is benchrest with barrel positioned on your rangebag if you can.

              Get a good sling and learn how to really use it.
              Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own

              I have to bend over too far

              I get a boner.

              bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

              I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......
