Miranda Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I started and am continuing to foster a target shoot at my family reunion/ potluck/ yearly party this happened last August. I took forever to decide to share this. I am totally embarrassed, I got beat. by a woman who I taught that day after she said: "how hard can it be? put the x on the target and shoot it...." oh the pain. my only defense is that she had a glass of good wine in her at the time.... She solidly showed me the rifle is more accurate than me. I knew I could improve, so now I know it is the indian. oh how I can improve.... the few guys,mainly cousins, who take up the hunt for sport and bragging rights are all about the same as me. we used a beanbag on a card table. and we use a spotting scope... most of us are within an inch at 50 yards no real patterns from anyone. two rifles are a 22LR and a 17HMR. from what I have read, in the magazines, every one is better than us. The lovely lady previously mentioned took 5 shots placed 4 in a line less than a half inch long We do not know where the missing shot hit. and the line was about a half inch from center. (I had been deciding the sight was pointing a little low and left... basily she confirmed my observations) later on I realized she thought we were patronizing her when we told her she won. the best display of marksmanship among us... I decided not to tell her the bar is not high... I had a lot of fun putting holes in paper and adjusting the scope. next time I'll have her shoot before the wine... ahem... no creatures were harmed in this Chipmunk Hunt.
